Subject: sam and varios mail programs

Greetings.  I use 'mush' as my mail program, and I have my EDITOR environment
variable set to use sam.  The problem comes when I have a sam running, and
then I go to read mail. When I edit my file, it cranks up another sam. But
when that sam quits, it removes the fifo in /tmp that the `B' command uses.
At that point, I can no longer use `B' to communicate with my orignal sam.

My question is, how do *you* handle this?  Does anyone have a shell script
that runs B on their temporary mail file such that things stay in sync
after the file is written back out with sam?

(This has probably been discussed before...)

Thanks!

Arnold
