Yes, but if you by vi mean Vim, then the best way to do this is with autocmds. Is autocmds a vi thing or a mutt thing? It's a Vim thing. You can have commands being executed on certain events, like before writing the file. One of the autocmds is FileType. So on FileType mail you can change everything you want for email. -- Danie Roux *shuffle* Adore Unix

You probably want this so that you can have different settings for writing mail messages than when you edit other files. If you use vim, you can add a section to your .vimrc like this : augroup Mail au! au FileType mail set tw=70 fo=tcrq au FileType mail set comments+=n:\| augroup END Vim knows how to detect when it is wrting a mail message and set's the filetype to 'mail'. Then it runs any autocommands associated with the filetype which in my case adjusts the text width, formatting options and adds my quote leader to the comments field (so it is colored properly).

Look in your muttrc file and find the 'editor=vim' line or whatever and make it 'editor=vim -u /patch/to/vimrc' I think that should do the trick, I think. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
