The following reply was made to PR gnu/3918; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill Fenner <fenner@parc.xerox.com> To: andrew@ugh.net.au Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: gnu/3918: Line wrapping in send-pr Date: Fri, 20 Jun 1997 17:36:03 PDT I think a simpler solution is probably "vi +"set wl=72" filename". There are any number of things wrong with trying to do this via EXINIT; the code you suggested causes a syntax error when vi starts up with my ~/.nexrc, which is about the worst thing it could possibly do. In any case, I'm not sure I'm a big believer in having a script auto-set a variable for me in vi. I don't turn wraplen on when I'm composing mail, so probably don't want it on when I'm composing a bug report, either. Bill
