Well, great! :-)

Yeah. I like edit_headers, but am no having mutt ask me for the To:
address so that I can take advantage of send-hooks.

% into vim in insert mode. Right now I have this .muttrc macro:
Try an autocommand; for more info, go into vim and type
:help auto
and do some browsing. You probably want something like
:au BufRead mutt-* i
or close -- but I haven't tested that AT ALL :-)
%
% (where '_A' is mapped to mutt's original 'm' command):
Why use this? Do you un-set your editor variable elsewhere? You could
just set it once, since all you're doing is picking a cursor position...
%
% # Start cursor at line 8 (with edit_headers set)
% # in vim's insert mode when composing new mails ('m'):
%
% macro index m ":set editor='vim +8'^M_A" "compose a new mail message"
% macro pager m ":set editor='vim +8'^M_A" "compose a new mail message"
%
% The problem is that almost anything I put after 'vim ... is read as a
% filename. Not sure how to get around that, any tips appreciated.
HTH...
