Thanks for all responses, the problem has been resolved. It was an
error in my muttrc file.
Thank you.
Kind Regards.

Alright, let me remove all but just leave the vim as I've tried following:
set editor="vim"
It came to the same error "Aborted unmodified message." after pressing
the "o" key for Mailing. I am not so sure that the problem was caused
by the editor setup, or doesn't?
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Jim

I am using vim on xterm, and I set up the editor at muttrc:
set editor="vim +':set textwidth=77' +':set wrap' +\`awk '/^$/ {print

For one thing, backticks are expanded at config parse time. Without

case.
I think that's right. My .muttrc has
set editor="vim +':set textwidth=72' +':set wrap' +\`awk '/^$/ {print
i+2; exit} {i++}' %s\` %s"
which works for me.

For one thing, backticks are expanded at config parse time. Without
having tried, this would seem likely to cause problems in your
case. With an editor invocation like that, you could try trimming it
down to the bare essentials (so just "vim" to start with), or moving
it to a script that does whatever argument processing etc. you want
and then launches the actual editor.

I am using vim on xterm, and I set up the editor at muttrc:
set editor="vim +':set textwidth=77' +':set wrap' +\`awk '/^$/ {print
i+2; exit} {i++}' %s\` %s"
Could you please elaborate more what I was missing?
Thank you.

The standard signature settings are for *text*. Using a non-text signature is both annoying, and very email-client-dependent (e.g. mutt doesn't display jpegs inline). I don't know of a way to do what you describe offhand, but I'd ask you to reconsider your desire to use such "signatures". ~Kyle - -- I couldn't give you something mediocre even if that's all you asked for. -- Michelangelo, in The Agony and the Ecstasy -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iEYEARECAAYFAkgQqE4ACgkQBkIOoMqOI16pbACgqEqup6hotWP1yPHQ0tiTWZyF p54An0mPKsYtoeK5EVEQM2zaQ5IuUcJg =PVZr -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Setting mutt on FC7
Hi, I've just set up the mutt on FC7 using vim editor. Appreciate any helps for my following questions: 1. The receiving mail seems ok, but I could not post mails. On the menu, there is a o:Mail, but when I pressed the o key, it always print out "Aborted unmodified message.", it did not bring me to the edit page, the same when I pressed "r" key for replying. How can I fix it? 2. I'd like to set up color in white when I reading the mail, but there are two lines, "Subject:" and "From:" are always in red. How can I set up the color in muttrc to make those two lines to white? 3. How can I setting a signature to attach a jpeg file or doc file? Is it like following set in the muttrc? set signature="~/mysignature.doc" Thank you. Kind Regards, Jim
