Hi there!

What do you mean by that? Some sort of templates, I guess. Try
resent-message bound to esce.

HTH,

Johnathan, was already doing what you described above, I was just looking
to see if Mutt had it built-in somewhere.

 you wanted something that would do large batches of people
 automagically, that's a whole other game and definately beyond mutt. You
 might want to look at the many spamming applications available out there
 (don't know of any, don't want to know of any, err, good luck finding
 and using them).

I never said I wanted to spam anyone. Form letters is not mail merge. The
above paragraph is just a bunch of non sense. By the way, you should
consider wrapping on your editor, you are well beyond 80 columns.

A better idea is to use mutt's handy resend-message function (bound to
Esc-e by default), which lets you use any msg (including the headers) as
a template for new messages.

Now, that is something I did not not think of! Excellent! That will do it.
Thanks Holger!

When you send E-mail, it's intended to be read on other people's

write your mail to display nicely somewhere else.

The relevant RFC (I forget the number) suggests that you word wrap at
or before 74 characters, to allow space for quoting.
