Re: vi wrap=?
Quoth Patrick, Doesn't work in mutt though. I guess that mutt is still using nvi so better read man mutt on how to change this. You should be able to find an example .vimrc in: -rw-r--r--1 root root 1812 Sep 15 1998 /usr/share/doc/vim/examples/mail Which you can whack in you ~/.vimrc file. This will set the line width for mails only. It also does other cool stuff like colours the signature and quoted elements. You can also use `gq' to nicely break up long quoted lines (just like I did with your message). Just make sure you turn on syntax highlighting in the /etc/vimrc to get the full effect. cheers, damon BTW, it's /usr/doc/vim/examples if you're using slink... -- Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling - Running Debian GNU/Linux: Doing my bit for World Domination (tm) - pgp83RsQOY8DT.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: vi wrap=?
Hi, Discovered that nvi is pretty basic and installed vim. Created a .vimrc and allworks well when I edit files. Doesn't work in mutt though. I guess that mutt is still using nvi so better read man mutt on how to change this. Thanks for the advice.

Re: vi wrap=?
Thanks for the tip but too late as I've installed vim. It seems just like nvi so much so that I think all versions of vi are the same to someone like me who just edits config files and emails. Best regards, Patrick -- Diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggy until you can find a rock.
