Better paragraph formatting #147

Open thallada opened 11 years ago

thallada commented 11 years ago

It's a bit ugly when a line overruns the width of the window and goes to a second line in vim. It would be nice to hard wrap those lines at word boundries instead.

I would be happy with just an option to run the message through fmt -80 before displaying.

@thallada The current_message buffer has the filetype=mail which sets the text width to 72 characters. Thus any contents should automatically wrap to 72 characters. If your vmail still has this problem, check the current filetype by running :set filetype? while inside the current_message buffer. Also check for :set textwidth?. If the filetype is mail and textwidth is not 72, then there could be other plugins that are modifying the textwidth. Try disabling other vim plugins to narrow down the problem.
