That may be where I got the notion that vi would default. I can just remember that in the past vi, or Elvis in Slack I think, was always what I got when I edited my crontab. I suppose I had assumed I would in Debian as well. > Maybe strace can help to find out what crontab actually does to get emacs > started. And maybe first check that VISUAL is indeed unset. I may just try strace. Maybe it isn't a big deal, but I am a little curious about why it is behaving oddly. Thanks for the advice.
