First, thanks for the various remarks, and I'm sorry I was not always clear. The bottom line, however comes here. Nano apparently cannot refill a block of marked text, and that was a formating ability I was hoping it had. > Your familiarity with emacs would probably make you happy with some form > of: > set editor="emacsclient %s" Actually, when I first migrated to mutt from RMAIL I used emacsclient, but my unfamiliarity with mutt led to some frustration and when I reinstalled Debian I left it at the default nano. Being unable to refill blocks of text is not a show stopper for me in nano, but since I'm more comfortable with emacs keybindings, I should probably head in that direction. Thanks again, Haines
