There's always more than one way to skin any unix cat; here's mine, based on the fact that the default fill-column in emacs is 70. Force emacs into text mode, and tell it to always use automatic fill in any text mode. Do all this neat stuff by putting these lines in your ~/.emacs: (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook '(lambda () (auto-fill-mode 1))) Now, in .muttrc just say: editor="emacs" Works here.... -- Bob Bernstein at http://www.ruptured-duck.com Esmond, Rhode Island USA cam> Cam cam> -- Cam Ellison Ph.D. R.Psych.
