that usually works pretty well because mutt has some patterns it
looks for in the filenames... when starting a new message using
mutt, it goes into /tmp/mutt-<hostname>-<digits>
BUT when "RESUMING" an outgoing message that you postponed in mutt
(postpone via "q" and then "y" to save message for later; resume
via "R") the temp filename is /tmp/mutt<digits> which doesn't
match the same pattern. all i have to do is :set ft=mail to get
my highlighting and textwidth settings, but where's the pattern
specified for ft=mail?
aha!
in /usr/share/vim/vim56/filetype.vim i found the line
au BufNewFile,BufRead
snd.\d\+,.letter,.letter.\d\+,.followup,.article,.article.\d\+,pico.\d\+,mutt-*-\d\+,ae\d\+.txt
set ft=mail
the part that works for new mutt email is
mutt-*-\d\+
but we need to add a pattern to match filenames like
/tmp/muttlEoKra
/tmp/muttDSveKd
what's the syntax for these vim patterns? (-*- looks like glob,
but then we have \d for digit (i presume) and \+ for... well, i
don't know.)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #14 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
What's a RUNLEVEL? It's simply a big-time setting group;
runlevel 2 might have a full-blown web server plus X running,
and runlevel 3 might be ssh-only, for secure logins. Check
/etc/inittab (and /etc/rc<RUNLEVEL>.d/*) for details on how
yours are set up. And try "man runlevel".
