>Description:

	vi (nvi, really), sends out email when it discovers that a
        file was being edited during a disorderly machine shutdown:

	>On Sun Nov 24 13:08:39 2002, the user rdm was editing a file
	>named About_Us.htm on the machine cfcl.com, when it was
	>saved for recovery. You can recover most, if not all, of the
	>changes to this file using the -r option to vi:
	>
	>	 vi -r About_Us.htm  

        It might be useful to add some text to this message, saying that
	/var/tmp/vi.recover is the default recovery file directory.  (I
        know this is in the man page for vi, but an explicit note would
        also be useful.)

>How-To-Repeat:

	Edit a file.  Have a power outage (:-).

>Fix:

	Add some text to the email.

 Shouldn't this be a conf issue?

 Sorry, I missed editing the "Category" field.  OTOH, whether it belongs
 in "conf" depends on whether the template for the email is stored in a
 file or hard-coded into nvi (:-).  Anyway, feel free to change the bug
 to a more appropriate category.

 I'm not sure of the motivation here.
 All the user really needs to know is how to get their file back, which
 they've been told.

 This presumes that the user actually wants to jump through the hoops
 of doing a "vi -r".  In many cases, as when a file was merely being
 view'ed, the user may just want to get rid of the recovery file.  By
 letting them know where these files are located, the message could
 make this easier.

State-Changed-Why:  
Vi is actually conbributed software which falls outside our scope. 
Personally I am going with previous mentionings that the user should be 
informed about a possible file recovery, I dont think the location is 
relevant enough to mention. If this should be fixed, it should be done 
upstream. Closing the PR
