We are having occasional annoying behaviour by whatnow that I thought
someone might have a fix for.  Occasionally, on a Sun (3/60 or Sparc)
running sunos4.1 and using mh 6.7 a draft will be deleted after an 
edit with the following message:

whatnow: problems with edit--/zaffer/homes/partain/Mail/draft deleted

We found the code for the message, but we can't really find the source
of the problem.  We suspect that it might in fact be vi returning a
wacked out status.  Again, this is only occasional, but troublesome.  Has
anyone else experienced this?  Does anyone have any idea what it might
be.  Any help would be appreciated.
