That's not what he meant by "automatic" - what he meant was that vim should know that the filetype (ft) is "mail" without you having to specify it. BUT, if it helps, you *can* have vim automatically keep your lines to within 72 characters as you type. Add "a" to your fo, like so: set editor="vim -c 'set fo=tcrqa ft=mail ff=unix tw=74'" ~Kyle - -- Hanging on to resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head. -- Ann Landers -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iEYEARECAAYFAkfYCNEACgkQBkIOoMqOI14E7ACg/S6pS7rlqqA5azO7Axek9/g9 1CkAoIaBPlBbD5oX5dbDgWO3r/pvx6xs =gXJD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
