I've got mail set up so that when I invoke it and read a long message
(longer than 24 lines), the message is piped through more. I belive I
did this by saying "set crt=24" in my .mailrc file.

I have a question maybe someone out there knows the answer to:
  "Why can't I invoke vi by pressing "v" when using more from within
   mail?"

I know this feature works with other programs that pipe stuff through 
more... for example, when you are reading a man page that is more than
a screen long, you can get into edit on the man file by pressing "v".

Thanks for any help... maybe you should mail to me & let me summarize
to the net if appropriate.
