Generally, this is To:, since I don't prompt for addresses before opening the editor. If you wish to try that, it shouldn't matter that I use vi and you use something that thinks it's vi. :) The same argument string should work fine in either, in this case.

{command} will be executed after the first
file has been read. {command} is interpreted
as an Ex command. If the {command} contains
spaces it must be enclosed in double quotes
(this depends on the shell that is used).
Example: Vim "+set si" main.c
Note: You can use up to 10 "+" or "-c" com-
mands.
According to the note, it would be OK to do something like:
set editor="vim -c 'set tw=72 et' -c ':0;/^$'

Something like this should work: au BufRead /tmp/mutt-* normal 6j but I would suggest something more like this: au BufRead /tmp/mutt-* normal } so that you cursor is always under the headers even if the number of header lines changes.

You might not always want to move down 6 lines. Perhaps in the future you will add a new header (using my_hdr) to certain messages. You might want to consider the following instead: set editor="vim -c ':0;/^$'" which will search for and move to the first blank line. In an email message that should be the first line after all the headers, no matter how many header lines there are. Tim

You could try setting the mutt 'editor' variable to something like /usr/local/bin/vim +6j This shall affect editing old messages, too, but it will probably do what you want.
