You could use a message-hook (even the same message-hook) to also set 'editor' to vim with a -c option to execute a vim command to fix those lines, e.g., message-hook '~A' 'set editor="vim' message-hook '~f [EMAIL PROTECTED]' 'set editor="vim -c \"%!sed -f ~/bin/fix_m.sed\""' HTH, Gary -- Gary Johnson | Agilent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Mobile Broadband Division http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/ | Spokane, Washington, USA
