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.
