[pmmail-list] Substitute Text Editor

[Kenn Yuill]

  I'm trying out the 2380 demo. and any editor that I have tried (Kon,
EPM or FlexEdit) to edit a message externally works without incident
but changes to the message are not saved after the first successful
edition.  I'll have to try deleting any previous files, TEMP.BOD &
TEMP.HDR in the TEMP folder, before trying to edit a second time during
one session of PMM.
If this behaviour is a limitation of the demo. version, I missed any
reference to it.

  The only possible contributing factor is that the system is set to
use Z:\TEMP, a RAM Disk, as a temporary directory, whereas PMMail uses
its the \PMMAIL\TEMP directory.

Any help is appreciated.

Likewise, I have used EPM on PMMail/2 for OS/2 with no problems.  Now,
I do not use the external editor as the DEFAULT.  I use it by hitting
the icon for the External Editor whenever I want it.

Have those who are having a problem tried both the 'default' and the
'on-request' approach?  Does it make a difference?
