So, I am doing all the following 6 steps to do just that

  f <hit this in index to forward>
 To: <type the abuse address at this prompt>
 Subject: the long message <hit enter to accept as it is>
 Forward as attachment? <type yes>
 <type :wq exit vim editor>

It's not possible to make Mutt control your editor in this way.

 <hit y to send it>

Is it possible to bind all these steps to one key like for example `S'
in index ?

I can think of two possible solutions:



my_tf=/tmp/spam-message
macro index S '\
<copy-message>$my_tf<enter>\
<shell-command>mutt -a $my_tf -- ab...@some.domain < /dev/null<enter>'



macro index S '<enter-command>my_abort_unmodified=$abort_unmodified;\
my_editor=$editor;\
my_mime_forward=$mime_forward;\
set editor=/bin/true abort_unmodified=false<enter> mime_forward=yes<enter>\
<forward-message>\
ab...@some.domain<enter>\
<enter>\
<send-message>\
<enter-command>set abort_unmodified=$my_abort_unmodified\
editor=$my_editor mime_forward=$my_mime_forward<enter>'

Completely untested, but that's the idea at any rate.

me

1) have Mutt save the message to a temporary file and then invoke itself to mail the file: 2) temporarily change your $editor to /bin/true to bypass editing the file since you want to automate it
