I have been looking through mutt, nano and vim docs
and web pages for about 8 hours and I can't get this
any further than before

this is what was suggested and I added to my ~/.muttrc

set wrap=72
set smart_wrap
set editor="nano -r 75"

my terminal is set at 80x24

if I type less than 80 chars nothing is wrong

if I paste something that is already wrapped less than 80 chars,
nothing is wrong

if I type pasted 80 chars, nano has this weird dollar sign thing going
on, and when I post it says the line is more than 80 chars and is
not wrapped, I have to force send

when I read the forced send in mutt it displays a plus sign
in front of each wrapped line, not a big deal except for URLs

when I read the forced send in thunderbird, it is not wrapped,
just one big line

didn't do anything to my ~/.nanorc file yet, but was thinking
I should since I use nano for slrn too

here are some other things I came across for ~/.muttrc

set nowrap
set softwrap
set wrap_method

but I returned to the suggestions above

any suggestions appreciated
