(auto-fill-mode) (set-fill-column 60) Configure mutt so your editor is emacs -l ~/.emacs_wrap instead of plain emacs. If mutt doesn't like that, make a emacswrap script in a directory on your path, containing: #!/bin/bash emacs -l ~/.emacs_wrap $* Then tell mutt your editor is emacswrap. Be sure to chmod +x emacswrap. === Subject: Re: word wrap in emacs From: Alan Shutko <ats@acm.org> Date: 24 May 1999 11:45:48 -0500 jojo <jojo@crosswinds.net> writes: > How do I setup word wrap in emacs?

Create fa file called ~/.emacs, containing: (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode) ===== Subject: Bug in emacs-20.3-15 From: Matthew Campbell <mattcamp@feist.com> Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 17:13:59 -0500 (CDT) According to the NEWS file in Emacs 20.3, the load-path variable in Emacs automatically includes most subdirectories under /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp (and the reasons for excluding a directory from this list are included). In Red Hat, /usr/local/share doesn't exist by default, and directories under /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp are not included by default. And if I create /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp and make a directory under that, that directory isn't included by default in the load-path variable either. So if an Emacs Lisp package like VM or Emacs/W3 is installed in a subdirectory of /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp, that subdirectory must be explicitly added to the load-path variable when Emacs starts. Does anyone know why this is happening? === Subject: emacs-20.4-4 complains without X From: Mike Bridge <bridge@gsnet.com> Date: Wed, 3 Nov 1999 19:46:26 -0700 Hi- I installed emacs-20.4-4 and emacs-nox-20.4-4 on RedHat 6.1 without XWindows installed, but every time I start it, the buffer prints the error: "Opening input file: no such file or directory, /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias" ... and it doesn't load the file I specified on the command line. Does anyone know the cause of this? ===
