How can I change or disable the frequent startup of nvi by af, perhaps as a viewer? I am using af 2.0-4. This behavior is irritating, as I must quit vi in order to continue reading mail. This only happens on certain messages. May mailbox has many messages about files (the files displayed by nvi, I think) that I had purportedly been editing with nvi. I don't use vi/nvi.
Here is the header of one such message (names have been changed...): Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 21:01:21 +1100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Whatever Return-Path: ..............

X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Length: 493 X-Af-Status: OR I removed the editor to nvi in /etc/alternatives, but no change in this behavior---it may have changed behavior while composing messages, I'm not sure. Thanks for any clue. Alan Davis
