I think I have narrowed down the issue I am experiencing to being mutt specific.
When I am composing / editing a messge in mutt, it seems that my .vimrc is not being fully read, if at all. Also, vim-specific features like tab expansion do not work (that's one I use a lot). Is there a way to tweak the way mutt lauches vi to get these features to run in a 'vimmish' way? I am running debian woody - vim version 5.6.70. If I just type vi from a command prompt on the same box, I get full vim; .vimrc mappings and tab-expansion works fine. It is only when mutt starts the editor that I seem to be in a 'vi compatability' mode. aloha, dave
