Subject: 06.01 What to do with "Problems with edit - draft removed".

If your users are using an AT&T version of "vi", it's exiting with
non-zero status (supposedly a count of the "errors" during the edit).
Move "vi" to "broken_vi" and put it its place :
#! /bin/sh
/usr/ucb/broken_vi "$@"
exit 0
Alternatively, compile MH with the ATTVIBUG option.
Then complain to your vendor that "vi" is broken, and they should
fix it.
