OK, I want to, if it's possible, use bbedit as my editor for posting to news via a command line news reader and I'm running into an issue. The command I use to invoke vim as the editor is:

set post_editor_command "vim +'set tw=72' +'set noai' +%d '%s'"

I can invoke nano by changing it to "nano -r 72 --tempfile '%s'"

And I can use bbedit with "bbedit -t "NNTP POSTING" --new-window '%s'"

But the vim and nano commands will invoke the editor with a line length of 72 characters (which is preferred for news) and I can't find a way to invoke BBEdit from the cli with a hard-wrap of 72 characters.

I have to remember to hard-warp the post when I am done writing it, and, naturally, I forget to do that more often than not.

I use BBEdit for a lot of other stuff, so changing the default in BBEdit to hard warp is not an option.
