[ILUG] Tip of the day...from the LBW list...

[John P. Looney]

 Very nice little touch. I did change it to;

# I use Vim as the editor when composing messages. The '+' allows you
# pass a few options to vim, like to skip beyond the headers & don't
# indent or highlight searches (seeing as we start off with a search for a
# space..)
set editor="if [ -x /usr/remote/bin/sigkiller ] ; then /usr/remote/bin/sigkiller %s; fi; vim +'set tw=74' +'/^$' +'set nosi' +'set nohlsearch' %s"

 to suit myself...hey..how hard would it be to have a "config file
archive" on some ilug machine somewhere, that people could upload & view
config files?

Here is what my .muttrc has:

set editor="/usr/local/bin/sigkiller %s; vim -f +9 -c 'set tw=72 et' %s"

sigkiller:

#!/bin/sh
#
# sigkiller: delete last foreign signatur when quoting mails
#            (foreign dashes = "> -- " or "> --"
#
# Markus Muss 
#
awk '{if ($0 ~ /^> -- ?$/) {
         while ($0 !~ /^-- $/) {
            getline
         }
      print " " > OUTFILE
     }
     print $0 > OUTFILE
  }' OUTFILE=$1.out $1
mv $1.out $1
