Re: VIM problem when used within mutt
:D You guys are gonna make me have to go reread the diff manpages, aren't you?

All a matter of perspective, I guess. It'd also be easy to believe that I'm probably just too lazy to hit an extra three keys (unless you take this response into account :) L -- Louis LeBlanc Fully Funded Hobbyist, KeySlapper Extrordinaire :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://acadia.ne.mediaone.netԿԬ

Re: VIM problem when used within mutt
I thought that file looked familiar. One problem with it. You must have emacs set to autoreplace tabs or something. The trailing whitespace could be from doing a cut and paste, though. I fixed your file by putting tabs back where they belong (tabs are often a pain in the nexk when you work on code, but for regexps and some config files, they are critical). Here is the diff between yours (after I fixed it) and the one I use: $ diff muttvimrc .mutt/mail.vim 1d0 < 75c74 < " order is important here! --- > " order is imporant here! 83,84c82,83 < hi link mailHeaderKey Red < hi link mailHeaderBlue --- > hi link mailHeaderKey Green > hi link mailHeaderCyan 86c85 < hi link mailQuoted2 LightBlue --- > hi link mailQuoted2 Cyan Pretty close. I do remember posting this a while back, and maybe I did the bad thing and just did a copy/paste. If so, my fault you had a hard time. This is actually a modified version of the one Felix von Leitner wrote. His version is actually included with the Vim dist. and can be found at /usr/share/vim/vim57/syntax/mail.vim (at least on RH6.2) In order to avoid further tab confusion, I am bzipping your repaired muttvimrc back up and attaching it that way.
