Using a large mallet, Kai Weber whacked out: how can I let read some special mail configs (e.g. set tw=72) when edit a email/news messages? Call vim sourcing a special vimrc for your mutt editing. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Lumber Cartel India - tinlcI mallet @ cluestick.org + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis I'll defend to the death your right to say that, but I never said I'd listen to it! -- Tom Galloway with apologies to Voltaire

My vim 5.4 fails to properly detect the syntax in those cases, and Johannes' autocmd would not be executed. Which leads to the question: why does syntax detection work on all mails except that have been postponed and are recalled? -- christian molls student of laws univ of cologne

Mutt uses a totally different naming syntax (apparently a random string - not mutt-hostname-foo) for postponed or recalled messages. So that does not match the regexp being checked for. -suresh

* Suresh Ramasubramanian [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000731 13:20]: Which leads to the question: why does syntax detection work on all mails except that have been postponed and are recalled? Mutt uses a totally different naming syntax (apparently a random string - not mutt-hostname-foo) for postponed or recalled messages. So that does not match the regexp being checked for. Citing the vim manual: The type of highlighting will be selected using the file name extension, and sometimes using the first line of the file. So it should make no difference if recalled postponed messages are named "mutt-hostname-foo" or "mutt837rsd7348". Still, apparently it does. To work around the problem I put au BufNewFile,BufRead /tmp/mutt* set syntax=mail in my .vimrc. -- christian molls student of laws univ of cologne
