I am having a very strange problem with mailx that I can't figure out!
When I give mailx the 'vi' command, it replies:
emacs: not found
or something like that. (I don't have emacs on the system).
I can't figure out why the 'vi' command is trying to call emacs.
In my environment, the shell variable EDITOR is set to 'vi'.
In my .mailrc, I have a line like this: set EDITOR=vi
Why is mailx trying to call emacs?!?! Where else can I look?
car.
