right, but i am not using textwidth for wrapping, i am using wrapmargin.
that *basically* sets textwidth to `columns - wrapmargin`. i don't know
why exactly i chose this over textwidth, but i remember having a reason.
nevertheless, wrapmargin is only used if textwidth is 0.

formatoptions=tcq

no, i checked that first. and right this second, i also can't reproduce
it. but earlier i could, and last night it almost drove me nuts.
remember your exim/spamassassin mail? my reply started out with
$HOME isn't set. and so on. and i happily typed and typed and it didn't
wrap. damn, now it did. i don't know. i just wanted to report it.

i feel like someone is playing a joke on me. my vim is as up to date as
yours, or are you running unstable? nevertheless, yours was compiled 14
minutes and 50 seconds before mine.
*wichert*???
(i think wichert is doing this on purpose
to me, laughing into his fists! watch him,
he'll deny it...!)
