I start vim thusly: set editor ="vim +/^$ +'set nobackup' -c 'normal o' -c startinsert" This puts me at a new line below the first non blank line, in insert mode. If you like, simply change 'normal o' to 'normal i' to omit the additional blank line. I use the blank line to make it easier when I need to reformat the first paragraph. That way, the headers don't get mangled when I execute gqip. The use of 'set nobackup' above is obvious. Also, while we're talking editors, I use: set tmpdir=~/tmp to ensure privacy of my temp files. Otherwise, they get written to /tmp, which is world readable. And,welcome to Mutt, krjw :) John
