The man page states: 'rTbgqR B=.,?_A_a Q=_s>|', there's an extra 'i' in mine which I'm sure does something l337 and magical I can't live without. A quick look through the mutt-* and vim* lists I'm likely to have grabbed it from doesn't show anything, so who knows :) Q= is presumably 'Quote', with _s being a space and >| being the character classes it matches. B= is 'Body', mathing all upper and lowercase chacters, '.', ',' and '?'. 'i' is apparantly "invis", which seems to remove empty lines added by a quote string. 'e' is a more powerful variant removing all superfluous lines. Other interesting looking entries are 'j' to justify (and a similar 'f' option), 'l' to try to keep the last line from being too short, 'q' which adds blank lines between quote levels, 'T4', which converts tabs to the One True Tabstop using spaces (something I normally hate :). Wow, that PARINIT's actually starting to make sense now. Damn those manpages. And yes, the default wrap is 72 anyway, but I like being explicit, usually :) -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.aagh.net/ - Money is the root of all evil, and man needs roots
