I have my EXINIT variable set as follows:

setenv EXINIT "map q /^>Status:

The purpose of the map is so that when I go into vi from mail I can hit
"q" and have it automatically delete the mail header from quoted mail.
This works just fine.  However, when I try to undo ("u") a delete later
on in the editing session, it undoes *everything* from the point I 
started the editing session.  Sometimes the editor mumbles something
about a global macro, although I can't remember the exact circumstances.
Anybody got any ideas on why "u" undoes everything rather than just the
last change?  Any ideas on how to change that behavior?
