Subject: Using VI with Pine?

OK -- I've looked through the Pine FAQ lists that I could find, but still
am unable to determine how to tell Pine to use VI by default.  I can edit
the .pinerc file so that CTRL-_ will call VI, but I want VI to always be
used.  I never want to see pico.  Is this even possible without a
recompile?

Why are we getting multiple copies of this message?

If you have the following set in your .pinerc it will work, although I 
personally find that vi and pine don't work too well together:-(

# Editor to use in place of Pine's internal composer, Pico
editor=/usr/ucb/vi

and 

enable-alternate-editor-implicitly

and

enable-alternate-editor-cmd   

(although this is included in the old-growth set)

Use Setup/Config to set them.

[This probably isn't the only/correct way, but it works.]

The news server here has been having intermittent problems.  I didn't
intentionally send multiple copies...

I've changed the first two, and everything seems to be working fine.
