Less verbose way of listing files to recover?

Hi,


$ nvi -r
vi: no files to recover.

$ vim -r
Swap files found:
In directory ~/.vim/tmp:
-- none --


Is there a way to make vim behave like nvi, that is, give a less verbose
message natively, without, e.g., using a shell script?

Thanks.

I know it's rude but... bump! Anyone?
