   OK... but after testing it today on the post that Nick was discussing, it   
   indeed worked and I left it on not knowing.  When I went to answer a netmail,   
   my usual external editor was gone and the internal editor appeared. Once I   
   turned raw mode off, the external editor came back.     
      
   I'm just echoing what I saw here.  I understand this is complex software and as   
   such some issues may appear and in no way am I pointing a finger.  I am in a   
   deep learning curve here and I've found I undertand it better with a hands on   
   approach.
