Yuri, I've just read PR 202290 and I have added to it a one line attachment which is a test case that demonstrates the issue/problem I have been experiencing, which sounds like it is most probably the same issue as in PR 202290. (But I would like your opinion on that.) The test case is just a From: line from am email sent to me by a european correspondant of mine. (Note that I use NHM as a mail client, and that it in turn invokes vi to edit new outbound messages and replies, which is where I frequently encounter this issue/problem.) I'm too embarassed to tell you what versions of FreeBSD I last did an upgrade from. Let's just say that it was certifiably ancient. My last full upgrade was to 12.0-RELEASE and that date on my local vi is as follows: -r-xr-xr-x 6 root wheel 461872 Dec 6 2018 /usr/bin/vi I guess that I simply need to upgrade that in order to get your fix for this issue (?) (Yes, I tend to be altogether too lax in keeping this particular system upgraded.)
