Blackholing the output of pgrep seems to have fixed it.

Without that the PID of any running elm process on that account shows
up on a line by itself after the "you have mail" notification before
the first csh prompt, before the ~ if trying to read from a file in
vi, or running an external program over part of a vi buffer.  It's not
restricted to vi-in-elm, so elm itself is probably not implicated.

I imagine it's left hanging around in a buffer in the shell and never
gets cleared deown.

Thanks for spending so many action potentials (and glial cell support
- never forget the glia) on my issue.
