format=flowed and extra spaces

[martin f krafft]

Hello list,








For instance, consider the following:



2. This is the second item.



 | 1. This is … |
 |    bit long… |



 | 1. This is … text is a=20 |
 | ···bit longer             |



 | 1. This is … text  |
 | is a    bit longer |





Is this possible? Or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?

Thank you!

I've set up Vim in tandem with Mutt to compose format=flowed emails, i.e. using &fo+=aw in Vim. I'm also in the habit of using numbered and bulletted lists in emails a lot. Unfortunately, the two don't seem to work together well, or I am doing something wrong. 1. This is the first item, spanning two rows because the text is a bit longer than 80 characters, or whatever &tw is set to. The way I have Vim configured means that the second line of the first item is properly indented, i.e. I see: At first, I thought those spaces at the start of the second line are "local" in that they are only needed for presentation. However, when Mutt creates a MIME message, it includes those spaces! This means that recipients who don't use exactly the same font and window size as I do might see the following instead: So there is no indent, but there are multiple subsequent spaces in the middle of the line, which makes the whole thing harder to read. I think all of this would be avoided if Vim didn't add those spaces it needs for indenting (presentation) in format=flowed mode. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "vim_use" group.
