[ILUG] vim and cursor keys..

[Gavin McCullagh]

interesting parallel problem I've been having that this just fixed.  I
never get this behaviour normally from vim on the command line.

However, when I set up mutt with

	set editor = "vim -u .mutt/vimrc"

having previously had 

	set editor = "vim"

I started to get the behaviour being described above.  I tried 

	set editor = "vim -N -u .mutt/vimrc"

and it has returned to normal.  My normal .vimrc which it would've been
using previously consists of only 

syntax on
set hls

I've no real problem cos it's wokring, but there's definitely something odd
about what circumstances vim behaves more like vi.  Either that or the
keymap gets a wee bit screwed up or something?
