I'd like to find out how to wrap long lines in e-mails that I'm replyingto. My mutt is setup to automatically wrap lines when I compose, but I'd like to be able to also lap long lines in e-mails when I reply.I have googled and see that with Vim as the editor, 'gq' is likely what I want, but reading the help on this I'm still not sure how to invoke/use it.Ideally, it would be nice to have the lines in the original e-mail that are too long to automatically be wrapped in the reply when I hit 'r'.
Hi Trey,Assuming you are using vim as your editor of choice, when composing a reply, you can issue the command 'gq}' when your cursor is at the start of a paragraph you are replying to and when you are in command mode, to rewrap that paragraph using your configured preferences for vim. It even is kind enough to properly indent > characters for you.
As an alternative, 'gqG' will reindent the entire email. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Remco
