Ok, in your ~/.muttrc or /etc/Muttrc or /usr/local/etc/Muttrc (for systemwide settings) do this: set editor="vim -c 'set tw=78' -c ':0;/^Reply-To: '" change the line if you have a set editor, or add it if don't... That'll startup vim with wrapping at col 78 and position the cursor at Reply-To:, which is the last line of the header. > 2) Where do I change the syntax-highlighting colours in such a way that they > won't be affected by the next upgrade to vim (the default colours for some > apps is a bit dodgy - dark blue on black for instance)? All that is completely definable in /etc/vimrc, so a bit of experimentation to see what colour combinations is all that is needed. ...can be tricky to find out the "perfect" one the first time though. -- .oO,.. oneiros ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ..,Oo. ... and the `fortune -s` for this e-mail is ...
