I know about setenv VISUAL /usr/ucb/vi. What I'm complaining about is
the lack of foresight in the Mail design in requiring an absolute path
and not using the search path. For instance I might want to temporarily
use my private copy of vi for everything.  For example, less uses
$VISUAL (or was it $EDITOR?) too. I don't want to have to edit lots of
config files. I just want to change it in .cshrc once.
