As Sebastian wrote, this is a Vim configuration issue, not a Mutt configuration issue. There are easier ways to solve this than by making settings manually every time you edit a message, though. Most Linux distributions configure their Vim packages to have filetype detection on. If yours does not, you can enable this by putting the following in your ~/.vimrc. filetype on Then create a new file under your ~/.vim directory, ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim. In that file put the Vim commands you want executed when you start editing a message. In your example, that would be setlocal formatoptions-=t That tells Vim not to auto-wrap text in that buffer. Then you don't have to think about it anymore. If that doesn't do what you want, come back with a description of the problem and we can help. It would be better, though, to ask Vim-related questions on the vim_...@googlegroups.com mailing list. In Vim's help system, see also :help :filetype :help 'formatoptions' :help 'textwidth' Regards, Gary
