So long as you use a Cocoa-based browser to check Gmail, you should be able to do the most useful vimmaneuvers on your email. I have no idea if there are utilities like this for other platforms. -Greg

At least, that's definitely the font that Yellowdog Linux uses. It also pretty clearly does not match the two suggestions at the bottom of the Wikipedia page. Just look at "p", "f", and "d". HTH, G

The magenta did indeed come from my terminal, as I'd assigned any bold text to magenta. Because the ---INSERT--- is bold and was therefore always a different color (magenta) from the body text of my docs (white), I thought that :hi normal ctermfg=white would not apply to the ---INSERT---. Lo and behold, I had exactly that command in my .vimrc. I thought it couldn't possibly be the culprit, hence my post. Doh! Many thanks, from a semi-newbie. GMN
disappearing color
Vim Aficionados, I run console vim. My normal colorscheme, as set in the .vimrc, is `Default' with backround set to dark. This has always had the consequence that the line at the bottom of the screen that says `--INSERT--' whenever I'm in that mode is displayed in magenta. Last night, this changed to display in white. I did not mess with the terminal emulator's colors. I *did* begin playing around with commands that change the syntax coloring while I'm in the middle of a document, e.g., :hi LineNr ctermfg=green But my understanding was that such "live" commands are temporary; when I exited vim, they are lost, and a restart of vim would bring the usual colors I named in the .vimrc. So I'm wondering (a) what happened to my purple mode notice?, and (b) did whatever happened to it happen because of my piecemeal coloring commands? Many thanks, GMN
