That should be the default of :set hls (usually in ~/.vimrc), as I assume Mutt "inlines" vim. > the regular vim /tmp/foofile.c /tmp/footext is fine. it's only > in mutt that highlights EVERY instance that I'm searching for. > I'll figure it out eventually if you don't know offhand. or > anybody else. Search for "flags to vim as editor", :set hlsearch or :set hls. You can add your own :set nohlsearch or :set nohls at the end of the file to try to deactivate the effect. This should also work when manually entered during an editor session. > maybe I should just find keith bostic's newvi; see if they have it > for linux; theyve got everything else... {grumble} I know there's nvi in ports.
