Hello John,
I tried your command line and now it is ok.
I tried different solutions for editing large file under vi:
1. Add swap file (it is not working)
2. modify temporary storage for vi: set directory=/... (it is not working)
3. split my big file in several files it is the best solution

I didn't pay very close attention to the size originally.
So my next guess is to try the "--start=N" option I mentioned above.
See if you can figure out approximately how many messages you want to
discard, by looking at the archives.
People with more Linux experience can suggest better approaches.
You can get fairly close to the number of messages in the .mbox file by
running grep and wc:
grep "Return-Path:" etrans-echange.mbox | wc -l
This will tell you how many lines in the .mbox file have Return-Path: in
them.
If not, just use trial and error. Start with some number like half of
the number you got above and if you have too many messages left in the
archives, go up as needed.
