I didn't have this problem before 7.3 either. I tried Israel's suggestion as follows: $ /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/MacVim -N -u NONE -U NONE .. but to no avail. Like Edward I use a set of format options and these are as follows: augroup filetype autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.txt set filetype=human augroup END autocmd FileType human set formatoptions+=qwarntc textwidth=72 linebreak smartindent autoindent Cheers, Robin -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
