I mostly read email in mutt in a tmux shared with my IRC client, so I normally prefer to keep that window fully maximized for the benefit of IRC, but email tends to be a bit hard to read if it actually takes up the full width there. Sender-wrapped or format=flowed (which mutt renders quite nicely by default these days) works well for me as a receiver; unwrapped doesn't really.This thread did, however, cause me to work out how to configure my mailer to send format=flowed, since it does look as though that's somewhat nicer for receivers who aren't using the same kind of dinosaur setup as I am, and support seems to have improved since the last time I looked at this eons ago. I needed this in ~/.config/nvim/init.vim (should also work in ~/.vimrc):au FileType mail setlocal formatoptions+=w And this in ~/.muttrc: set text_flowed That seems to work pretty well.
[...]Thanks for the config details! Turns out we use basically the same workflow (I run Mutt with vim as my message composer along several other console-based client apps, including but not limited to IRC, in persistent tmux session on a remote cloud VM), so this was extremely helpful for me as well.
I'm composing and sending this with your suggestions applied, seems to be working well so far. Thanks again!
