Reading the code, I see that it doesn't use the xterm escape sequence for getting that information, but requires that vim is linked with the X libraries.

Everytime i use vim, it changes the Xterm-Title to the current edited file. When im leaving vim it changes to Thanks for using vim ;-) until next usage of vim.

[disclaimer... i did NOT write this patch] ok here's the patch (it documents itself). i took the one on the mutt site and patched by hand for 1.3.x... seems to work ok for me tho. http://infinitejazz.net/will/geek/mutt.xterm.patch the version that's in the debian package for unstable is: http://infinitejazz.net/will/geek/patch.xterm.alt (should be pretty much the same). there's a little bit of fuzz, but should apply fine to 1.3.26/.27, and should work down to early 1.3.x stuff. the 1.2.5 patch is linked from the mutt site. someone was saying that this bit should be changed, but i'm not a programmer, so maybe someone else can give some feedback. i have $TERM set to xterm so it works, but if you have $TERM set to xterm-xfree86 (or xterm-color) it might not work since the first bit presumably is doing some sanity checking as well, it MIGHT work to take out the 'else if' line entirely, but i don't really know. /* Make sure that the terminal can take the control codes */ if (ep == NULL) unset_option (MuttVars[idx].data); else if (mutt_strcasecmp (ep, xterm) != 0) unset_option (MuttVars[idx].data); i have this: set xterm_set_titles set xterm_title=--[$USER@%h ]-%v--[%f ]--[%b inc %n/%m here]---(Sorting by %s/%S)%- in my .muttrc w

Another way to do this, to avoid really long 'editor' variables, and so that you can experiment with different settings without having to re-start mutt, is to use autocommands in your .vimrc, e.g., au BufNewFile,BufRead /tmp/mutt-* set expandtab au BufNewFile,BufRead /tmp/mutt-* set formatoptions-=o Note also that you can set several options with one set command, e.g., set tw=72 wrap ai Gary -- Gary Johnson | Agilent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Spokane, Washington, USA http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/ |
