The problem appears to be that if a new users selects to change their
default editor, it's using the old default to send a message to the
sysop. It's still using FSEditor.
Once you get into the BBS and then send a message, then you get the
internal editor. Seems like a bug to me in that the login process isn't
re-reading the editor if it's changed. I would file a git bug report.
