You can set emacs to auto-fill at any column number any time you want by evaluating: (auto-fill-mode 70) or any number you choose to wrap at. In emacs press M-: you will see a prompt saying Eval: Type (auto-fill-mode <any number) and press <RET> it will be evaluated and used on that buffer. This is what the muttrc line is doing too. -- Harry Putnam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Running Redhat Linux-5.1
