What command are you using to save the script?

For example, go to the end of your pf

If you don't use vi, you are missing 1/2 the benefit of linux!

Yes. mutt does the same thing. I believe that mutt even has an extra command
line option or two. read:

I don't use a modem anymore, but:
It seems very unlikely that this is a limitation of linux. You would not be

Does this happen with ftp?

I am not sure how to do that just with vi but:
Since you can easily pass your document through a unix command filter, you
could just write your own sed command to do that for you and bind it to a
key with map.
eg.
:1,5 !tr a-z A-Z makes line 1 to 5 uppercase.
or
:1,10 !sed s/^[a-z].*/ /

You can do anything you want to your docment with shell commands.
eg.
:1,5 !fmt
will close up lines 1 to 5.
or:
!}fmt
will do the same to the next paragraph break (blank line).
info fmt will show you some options.
You could write a very short script to do just want you want and bind it to
a key.
