<p>If you are not satisfied with the message as it is, you can edit it
using a text editor specified either by <code>EDITOR</code> or by
<code>VISUAL</code> environment variables. The ‘<samp>~e</samp>’ uses the former,
and ‘<samp>~v</samp>’ uses the latter.
</p>
<p>By default both escapes allow you to edit only the body of the
message. However, if the <code>editheaders</code> variable is set,
<code>mail</code> will load into the editor the complete text of
the message with headers included, thus allowing you to change
the headers as well.
