A ha, for some reason the verbose thing didn't kick in earlier. Just ran it
again and it said:
textwidth=78
Last set from ~/.vimrc
The plot thickens! Looking in my .vimrc file, it says this:
" In text files, always limit the width of text to 78 characters
autocmd BufRead *.txt set tw=78
I normally edit code in vim, so that's probably why I haven't seen the 78
character tw kick in (was editing a text file this time).
Guess my cat has been exonerated!
Thanks much,
