Just a thought and matter of taste, but... For file like *.c, I understand use of auto command to set some settings. But for editing mail, I thought activating proper vim mode by the MUA configuration file may be more straight forward.
For example, my ~/.muttrc or /etc/Muttrc has followng: set editor="vim -c 'set tw=72 et ft=mail'" just an alternative, ciao, :-) On Mon, Aug 27, 2001 at 08:01:35PM -0700, Rob Hudson wrote: > I found stuff like this before and have been using it: > > " When using mutt or slrn, text width=72 > autocmd BufRead mutt*[0-9] set tw=72 > autocmd BufRead .followup,.article,.letter set tw=72 -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ +
