Reason being a different cursor starting point for each one (on the attribution for replying and on the top line for composing). why not just use different macros for 'compose' and 'reply' - ie: (untested) macro index m :set editor=blah\nmail macro index r :set editor=blah\nreply macro index R :set editor=blah\ngroup-reply macro index L :set editor=blah\nlist-reply something like that should work though. w
Re: macros or hook?
I want to use a different $editor var whenever I either *reply* to or *compose* a message. I don't know much about vi, but how about writing a function that greps for /^in-reply-to:/ and takes it from there? Or a shell script like: # untested if grep -i ^in-reply-to $1; then vi --do-reply $1; else vi --don't $1; fi -- Mike Schiraldi VeriSign Applied Research smime.p7s Description: application/pkcs7-signature

Re: macros or hook?
* Nick Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020124 21:17]: bind index r noop bind index m noop What's a noop? noop means as much as 'do nothing' (no operation or something i guess), i thought that the macros wouldn't work if i didn't do this, but maybe they do. i don't know for sure. macro index m :set editor=\vim -c ':0;/Subject'\\\nmail macro index r :set editor=\vim -c ':0;/^$'\\\nreply Hmmm Yeah, I getcha. How does mutt know how to reply/compose as well though? Is that them noop buggers? i don't get your question, do you mean how mutt knows when to reply or compose? that's in the 'm'ail and 'r'eply keys i use. mdb -- You have the capacity to learn from mistakes.
