That totally nailed it. So it had nothing to do with folders... Thank you for your help in clarifying this!

The most notorious case was mutt: vim would start in the first non-blank line (either the signature line or the "Reply Original in..." line if replying to a previous mail)."normal" is not a function, it's an ex command. Interactively, you would invoke it like :normal zR Instead, you did :normal (zR) That is: ( - jump back a "sentence" zR - open all folds ) - jump forward a "sentence" Depending on where Vim thinks the first "sentence" ends in your file (which is probably not prose with an actual sentence structure) this could place you pretty far into the document. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
