    If I remember right the default is vi on my linux install. I switched my own to joe but any editor like nano would work fine.

    In WIndows I use notepad, but you can use wwiv's full screen editor as well.

    Look in your .mmailrc for the EDITOR keyword.

    Depending on your OS you config file might have a different name.

    Not sure what you mean.
