This question I have involves a repeated mail message I get every time I
log on as root.  Here is the message:

-----------------
From: daemon
Date: 9/10/97
X-vi-recover_file: MYKERNEL
X-vi-recover-path: /var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.000155
Reply-to: Root
From: Root(Nvi Recovery program)
To: Root
Subject: Nvi saved the file MYKERNEL
Precedence: bulk

On Sun May 18 23:47:47 1997, the user root was editing a file named
MYKERNEL on the machine myname.my.domain, when it was saved for
recovery.  You can recover most, it not all, of the changes to this file
using the -r option to v1:
	vi -r MYKERNEL
---------------------

Every time, no matter what I did before, when I log on as root I get
this message.  I keep deleting it but that does nothing.  What can I do
to stop this message?  I don't want to recover the changes to MYKERNEL
because I changed it on purpose.

Thank you,
Brian
