That is a good idea. If it seems simpler to just add a line in .vimrc, on the other hand, then an autocommand can also do such jobs, as in this one which automates the "[Was: ... ]" editing of a subject line update, as above: au BufNewFile,BufRead ~/Desktop/mutt-* noremap <A-w> ^[gg/Re:^Mce[Was^[A]^[0Wi Again, "^[" is "Control-V Escape", and "^M" is Control-V Enter". And mutt defaults to composing in /tmp, not ~/Desktop, unless .muttrc has something like this, to avoid losing the composition on a wipe of /tmp on reboot: set tmpdir="~/Desktop" # If not in ~/postponed after a crash, look here. As they say, please don't ask me why I think that's advisable. Erik -- Britain had first obtained a commercial Enigma machine back in 1927, by simply purchasing one in the open in Germany. The machine was analysed and a diagnostic report written on how it worked. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17486464
