From ":help fo-table": l Long lines are not broken in insert mode: When a line was longer than 'textwidth' when the insert command started, Vim does not automatically format it. I'm guessing that you have no problems with auto-wrapping when you open other files? Just type "vim" into your shell and start hammering a sentence; it should wrap just fine. So, we need to figure out why you're getting that "l" there. First thing is to check your .vimrc. If you don't see anything there, look in your mail syntax file; mine is located at /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/syntax/mail.vim, but yours may be elsewhere, depending on your distro. You can check which syntax file is in use with ":set filetype". > P.S. Incidentally, is my mail being sent twice?

If that is the case, you will be seeing your sent message, and then the one that the mailing list sends out to _everyone_, including yourself. Well, assuming that this list is configured the same as vger. :\ Tim -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
