Several recent reboots have resulted in my receiving a message, reporting that a file has been saved for recovery (ie one identical message each time the system reboots). There is no file at the location given in the message (and the X-vi-recover-file header), however - but there is a binary containing an apparently unedited message (and other data) at the location given by the X-vi-recover-path header. Since I don't normally use vi, and didn't find out about the recovered file until the system was rebooted several weeks after the file was created, I'm unfortunately not certain what I did to result in the recovery package's confusion. My best guess is: While part-way through reconfiguring mutt, I accidentally dropped myself into vi, to create a message. I then probably tried several of the more commonly used escape/quit key-combinations before hitting on the correct one. This presumably resulted in a file which had (as far as vi was concerned) been edited, but was still identical to the original unedited version. I can supply a copy of the binary and/or the recovery message if they would be helpful. Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
