Thanks Michael. I think the <enter-command> did it for me, its more than just a colon. After many years of exclusive vimming, I use nano for all prose that I type, so the following is a very useful addition to my config and re-sourcing to the defaults in .muttrc at the end is also cool. macro compose v '<enter-command>set editor="~/bin/mutt_edit_vim"<enter><edit-message>:source ~/.muttrc<enter>' macro compose n '<enter-command>set editor="~/bin/mutt_edit_nano"<enter><edit-message>:source ~/.muttrc<enter>' ciao Eric PS Kudos to vim for introducing serialised undo tree - totally cool.
