hi, i don't know the permanent fix (since most of my nvi work doesn't involve shorter line lenghts), but i simply use the "magic" key stroke sequence at the beginning of my nvi document in mutt: esc : set wraplen=<76, or 55, or 60, or whatever...> enter ...it handles it from there. hth. bentley taylor. //
