You could get your reply keystroke macro to set some state before commencing the reply, for example. Untested (and this hould be one line): macro index,pager r '<shell-escape>touch $HOME/var/flag/80-cols<enter><reply><shell-escape>rm -f $HOME/var/flag/80-cols<enter>' Ugly, and as written won't work for concurrent mutts or anything. But you get the idea - set a flag as a filesystem entry, clear it later. I was all set up to suggest a message-hook or tweaking $editor, but the former fires for both reply/forward _and_ display and the latter happens too late:-( This woud be a lot slicker if mutt had a setenv/unsetenv command.
