You never saw this before 6.1? It's been this way for years. It's coming from ssh. If you type an escape sequence immediately after a newline ssh might recognize it. Type return followed by ~? in ssh for more information. ~v/~V won't be of much use unless you're debugging ssh, but you'll wonder how you ever lived without some of them. ~. will kill a stuck session. ~C will let you set up and tear down -L/-R/-D forwardings ~^Z will send ssh to the background and ~~ will let you type ~ which is most useful for typing this list In short, type ~~v for vi when running mail in ssh.
