I don't use vi, so I may well be missing something, but is the mail
that /etc/rc sends upon reboot really important?  Could it be deferred
until the user logs in the next time and run out of a global (or
user-specific) shell .rc file?

Emacs never sends any reboot mail that it saved any temp files for
me. I just assume it saved the temp files and am plenty pissed when
they are not there.
