Yes. Why would you do that anyway? Thereâs comsat/biff, plus other
mailbox formats, such as UW imapdâs mbx. Itâs just useless. You can
place some commands to do that into your .mkshrc or .profile instead.

Yes, vi is insane â but honestly, I donât think there are ANY new
bugs in Vi command line editing mode, relative to OpenBSD pdksh,
and I even fixed some. I just didnât bother UTF-8ising it.

There *are* a few things in mksh I *could* use help with. As of
now Iâm doing this pretty much alone. But there are very few
regressions.
