True, there are two different things in the manual both called "editor", one is internal and line-oriented, the other is a user-specified external program. Actually, the built-in editor _can_ be used instead of vi/vim/pico etc.. If you make sure you have no $EDITOR or $VISUAL set in your environment and then ':unset editor' before composing a message, then it is used by default (I can't think of any real use for this). -- Bruno
