this works for things I "copy/cut and paste", but typing does
not yet wrap, a $ comes up, then when I receive the message
a + is in front of the line where it is wrapped

Re: line wrap with editors

2014-11-18 Thread John Niendorf

I use nano which I think is the default editor in Ubuntu.
I have this in my .muttrc file:

set wrap=78
set smart_wrap
set editor="nano -r 75"

and it seems to work well.

Not sure this is what you are asking for, but

set editor="emacs" # or something else

could do

what kind of "problem" would that be?
 
> how can I fix this or use gedit,emacs

w/o knowing problem your question cannot be answered, but...
if "setting line length/wrap" is what you are looking for, you should
consult the documentation for your editor of choice.  The editor
parameters is chosen by you, not by or controled by mutt, but ...
you can pass parameters to your editor via muttrc.
