Well, after installing emacs, I figured I might as well try using it to
send mail with elm (as opposed to /usr/bin/vi). Well, what do you know,
it worked! I have no idea why /usr/bin/vi shouldn't work with elm (this
is FreeBSD-1.1.5 BTW), but at least for me it doesn't. I guess I should
have tried this earlier with elvis (which also works, incidentally), but
I had forgotten elvis came with the distribution. Anyway, I'd like to
thank all those who sent responses.
Jeff
