Actually, since vim 5.4 or so, this is even easier: autocmd FileType mail set textwidth=72 That won't catch the reportbug* case, of course; you'd cover that with: autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPost reportbug* set filetype=mail which would also give you the usual mail-specific syntax highlighting. :help filetype should cover everything. This is, of course, going way off topic... -sbigham
