While I agree with you completely that these points hold when using Vim to compose a reply, they do not hold when using Vim to browse messages that have been received from others. (Too) many people don't use proper signatures and don't properly trim quoted material; and when using Vim to view raw messages, e.g. from a Maildir folder, there are usually many headers. ...Marvin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
