Dear List I'm new to Mutt. As I am a fan of GNU-Emacs I use emacsclient for composing mails. But I'm quite an Emacs newbe too.
On my GNU/Debian (Etch) machine I have to turn on Emacs' auto-fill-mode manually when I compose a mail text for mutt. This annoyes me of course. On my other computer, which runs Ubuntu 6.10, the auto-fill-mode comes up automatically. This is strange since both computers use exactly identical .emacs and .muttrc files. On Debian I'm running Emacs 21.4.1. As I have no access to the Ubuntu maschine at the moment I can't tell if its version is different (anyway, it's the version of the main repository). My .muttrc containes the line: set editor="emacsclient %s" on both machines. The relevant lines of the .emacs files are: (server-start) (add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) I don't know why this hook works only on one machine. I think there are many of you who use Mutt with Emacs. How have you automatized to turn on the auto-fill-mode? Thanks for replies Sven
