Make sure, your formatoptions include 'q' and 'c' (In Vim, check the output of :set fo? or even :verbose set fo?). I can then successfully use gqap on such a paragraph and have it nicely reformat and inserting quotation signs where needed. Other then that, I don't think I set any other options for writing Emails. Oh and forget that tip about ':set editor=vim -c...' this is just plain wrong. The correct approach would make use of filetype plugins where you can customize all needed options. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
