Well, that was my first try but it didn't work either (the autocommand was not run). I thought that the <buffer> part was not defined at the time the autocommand was defined and that it was the reason why it was not working. Probably the problem was, in that case, that the event I was using (BufRead) was the wrong one. >> Given that I only want to do the substitution once at the beginning: >> should I get rid of autocommands and do the job directly in >> "~/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim" (which is what I'm doing right >> now)? > > ..in your case I think autocmds are not useful.

Right now I'm doing it exactly in that way and it works, so I suppose I'm going to do that instead of using autocmd. Thanks!
