       Hi Netlanders ,
     
 I would like to make a contribution to the recent discussion about
 editors being used to send mail.
     
 A remarkable problem exists when using LSE in VMSmail (by using
 '$ define mail$edit callable_lse).
 If by any chance your terminal type is set to 'unknown' the following
 happens : when having answered mail's 'subj:' question in response
 to a send request, mail JUST RETURNS WITH HIS 'MAIL >' PROMPT !!
     
 When I experienced this for the first time I first thought that my
 mail utility had gone 'completely crazy'.
 Afterwards I realized that my terminal was set to 'unknown' due
 to some 'accident' which is not relevant for this discussion.
     
 The problem here is that LSE's classical message
 '%TPU-E-NONANSICRT,SYS$INPUT must be an ANSI CRT' doesn't get through.
     
    Is this because mail started a subproces inorder to activate the editor ?
    Anyway I feel that somehow an error message should be generated
    maybe by VMS mail itself.
    I am running VMS4.5 and LSE V2.0
     
                                                 So Long,
