Here's what I've got to do the same. I think you'll find it cleaner and more manageable. I've a file ~/.vim/ftplugin/mail.vim . It contains: source $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/mail.vim :/^$ :+ Well, more precisely, it doesn't go to the last line; it goes to one line past the first blank line, which is just after the headers, which is where you begin the body. This is different than "the last line" in the case that you have a signature at the bottom of your blank message. When replying to a message, this is the place you want your attention to be to begin trimming away the irrelevant parts of the previous, quoted message and replying to the relevant parts. Then, I don't have editor set in my muttrc. It defaults to /usr/bin/editor, which is vim. Vim's filetype plugin feature is a great thing. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all." --Noam Chomsky
