/bin/mail's ~v and ~e escapes attempt to execute /usr/bin/vi and /usr/bin/ex, respectively. These binaries are in the /bin directory in the current release. Work around by setting VISUAL and EDITOR in ,mailrc. ~v /usr/bin/vi: No such file or directory Fatal error in process. (continue) ~e /usr/bin/ex: No such file or directory Fatal error in process. (continue)
There are several vim packages and it is not clear which vi should be compiled into mailx as default. Either install vim-enhanced or set VISUAL/EDITOR to the one you desire: bash$ rpm -qf /bin/vi vim-minimal-5.3-7 bash$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/vi vim-enhanced-5.3-7 bash$ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/vimx vim-X11-5.3-7
