Instead add this to your .muttrc: set editor="/usr/bin/vim -c 'set ft=mail et tw=72'"Perfect, I will add that over textwidth in my .vimrc, thanks
That works OK for a small number of settings, but can become hard to manage. If vim filetype detection is enabled and working properly (entering ":set filetype" in command mode in vim returns "filetype=mail"), you can create $HOME/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim and enter mail-specific settings there. For instance, mine starts out like:
syntax on setlocal wrap setlocal textwidth=72 " do text=flowed wrapping setlocal formatoptions+=w " don't autoindent or smartindent, as that just adds weird spaces into the " middle of flowed text paragraphs setlocal noautoindent nosmartindentAs you can see, you can take as much space as you want to make things easy for your future self to understand why you're selecting certain settings.
