This is what I use, a less strict modification on someone's suggestion
probably in this list or vim list. In .vimrc:
au BufRead mutt-fluke* normal :g/^> *[-_]\{2,} *$/,/^$/-1d
gg
Notes:
1. mutt-fluke* is the pattern for temp files created by mutt,
fluke is my machine, change it to yours, or maybe you can use
'mutt-*', or dynamically get the hostname
2. the sig delimeter I use is not only dash-dash-space, also including
more than two dashes or underscores (eg. Hotmail's annoying "Get
your free email..."), will delete everything from
that line up to the first blank line, press enter in case search
fails, refresh screen and go to the first line.
If you want strictly dash-dash-space for sig delimeter:
au BufRead mutt-fluke* normal :g/^> *-- $/,/^$/-1d
gg
PS. To insert a real ^M, type Ctrl-V-M or Ctrl-V Ctrl-M.
Hope that helps,
