Thanks. do as the emails tell you: go to the right directory and do "vi -r filename". Then, I don't recall correctly to be honest, write it to /deve/null if you don't want to keep it and quit vi. The reason why it takes so long is probably that the vi-recover-program is trying to use sendmail to inform you, but that you don't have an internet connection yet (is that possible?) so it waits for dns-time-outs.
