You should be able to find an example .vimrc in: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1812 Sep 15 1998 /usr/share/doc/vim/examples/mail Which you can whack in you ~/.vimrc file. This will set the line width for mails only. It also does other cool stuff like colours the signature and quoted elements. You can also use `gq' to nicely break up long quoted lines (just like I did with your message). Just make sure you turn on syntax highlighting in the /etc/vimrc to get the full effect. cheers, damon BTW, it's /usr/doc/vim/examples if you're using slink... -- Damon Muller (dm-sig6@empire.net.au) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling - Running Debian GNU/Linux: Doing my bit for World Domination (tm) -
