Gak..well, if there's absolutely no way to disable this in your
vi, use sed or perl in Pnews & Rnmail to change the pattern
'[ev][xi]:[^:]*:' into something benign before dropping you into
vi.  Not terribly satisfactory, and rather slow...

sed 's/\([ve][ix]\):\([^:]*\):/\1;\2;/g'
..will change the colons to semicolons, for example
