Overkill! Just pipe the message to "vim -" and select the text visually (eg the current paragraph with "vip") and then ":w snippet". Then exit with ":q". Much quicker, I think. :-) > I have wanted to do this with individual messages as well, not just > digests. > If mutt cannot do this, I think that it would be a great function. Sure - but then again, mutt should not become an editor. This said, vim should not become a mailer, either. If you want both in the same program, then, well, use Emacs! Sven
