If we have a virecover check running from .profile and friends,
how about not sending mail (which may not be set up correctly) but
just giving a "you have saved edits; use vi -r to list and recover"
when doing an interactive login? Similar to "you have mail".
You need file owner plus fstat to make sure the file is not
a "life" session (-> pretty small attack surface), and the output is
less annoying while still helpful.
+1 on "a full path of the edited file would be helpful", too.
