 Or the other variants of the hybris worm - F*****g with dogs.scr.vbs was one
 (one of my colleagues - a stubborn outlook user, had the embarassment of
 sending this out to a lot of lists she reads ...)

 Try this (if you use a comparatively recent pine - 4.x should do) :

 S (setup) - C (configure)

             [X]  enable-alternate-editor-cmd
             [X]  enable-alternate-editor-implicitly

It'll ask you if you want to use vi / emacs / $editor that way.
