Hi, Well, after trying many different things, I finally got it to work. I put the following line in my .vimrc: au FileType mail set tw=70 fo=tcrq2 nomodeline I don't know why that solved the problem, and the line: set textwidth=77 in .vimrc didn't work. But at least it is working. Thanks for the advice. Best wishes, Ric
