    Excellent news Aaron, I will be setting up nn again this weekend. I will
    admit to abandoning it a few months ago because of the hostname issue :).
    I see your changes are in -current as well:

    +---------
    n/nn-6.7.3-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt.
    Patched to retrieve hostname from /etc/HOSTNAME, use gpg rather than pgp,
    and to use correct sizeof(long) depending on the system architecture.
    Thanks to Aaron W. Hsu.
    +-------

    Thanks for making the effort!

    Yes, sorry about the delay. Sometimes it takes a while for me to get
    around to things. :-)

    Pat was remarkably friendly and willing to accept the patches.

    Well, it took me a while to relearn nn as well :). I don't suppose
    by any wild chance you managed to ever get vim working with nn? I
    I have tried and failed several times and I can tell you I am not
    really a nano fan!

    If memory serves, nn uses the default editor. You can set the
    default editor in your .profile file.

    EXPORT EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim

    or some such should do it...

    NN uses your default editor. Currently, I have it using NEdit. You just
    make sure that your EDITOR environment is set correctly. Also, feel free
    to check out the NN FAQ, which is still relevant. There are also
    relevant posts about the configuration file in the nn newsgroup which
    makes a difference when you're trying to do something that the NN
    documentation doesn't make perfectly clear.

    Um, we already said this. And we said it with more clarity, as
    well. Try and keep up.
