In your ~/.pinerc, make sure that
enable-alternate-editor-cmd
is one of the options selected under 'feature-list', and also set
editor=/path/to/vim
(or if you're the regressive type, editor=/path/to/vi) in the same file.
That or search for the equivalent editor directives under the config
options, by typing 'mscweditor<enter>' -- but the other way is faster :)
Once the editor to use is enabled & set, you can drop into it with ^_ (I
think under older versions of Pine it was ^^ or something, but ^_ seems to
be the keystroke on versions from the past year or two).
If you want to use vi instead of pico always, select the option labeled
enable-alternate-editor-implicitly -- this kind of screws up the display
of message header info though, so personally I didn't care for this
setting. Pico will do for most email for me anyway, but having the option
to reach vim for more subtle formatting etc is nice to have.
