1. Apparently your mailer un-beautified the text a little too zealously. That backslash was supposed to be the first character on a continuation line.
2. "normal" would still be required in the autocommand, because an autocommand is always an ex-command.
3. To replace the cursor on the exact character where it used to be, the mark must be called with a backtick: `" not an apostrophe: '" -- the latter would put the cursor on the first non-blank on the line.
Best regards, Tony.
