Hi

2 questions for the list

1) I keep all my mailing lists in different folders, is it possible to
setup mutt to automatically place the list address in the TO field when
I am in that folder and then to go back to normal when I leave that
folder

2) I use vim to edit me emails, how do I write a script such that it
takes the highlighted lines deletes them and then inserts

[snip]


Thanks

Alex

Yes, it's possible (using folder hooks). But I usually use shift-l for
list-reply when I want to reply to the list.

so whilst viewing an email, I press shift-l, this starts vim with the
emails, I then use up and down arrows and v to highlight some text, I
would then like to press <some key combo> and have the text replaced by
<cr>[snip]<cr>

I haven't used this before, but try putting something like this into
your ~/.vimrc file:

map <C-S-F1> d<Esc>i<CR>[snip]<CR><Esc>

This will create a shortcut for Ctrl+Shift+F1 (think of a better one, I
used this for testing to make sure I didn't interfere with the
defaults).

You make a selection in vim, i.e. press Shift+v, then go down a few
lines, and then press the shortcut, which will delete the selection (d),
go into insert mode (i) and put in your text and then leave insert mode
again (<Esc>).

So actually it's pretty easy. Type

: key-mapping

in vim for more info.

You'll have to play around a bit to see how you want things when you
don't select full lines.

Wouldn't 'c' be better than 'd<Esc>i' ?

For some reason <C-S-F1> did not register on so I tried it with ^[[23^
(got this from the manual, I type ctrl-V and then the keycombo)
