In my case, emacs doesn't normally wrap lines of text unless in text-mode so I added a condition so text-mode is invoked when composing from mutt. (push '("mutt-.*" . text-mode) auto-mode-alist) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'auto-fill-mode) Thomas Stivers gave some excellent answers to your remaining questions. I will say that configuring mutt may seem unwieldy at the beginning, but once set in place, cherrish that .muttrc file and you will be running one of the finest mail clients out there. -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown
