Hello all, Had a question concerning nano. I installed mutt over the weekend and chose nano as the editor. Only problem was that I could not get word wrap to work under nano, no matter what I did. All my messages came out as one long string when I sent them. I had to "temporarilily" switch back to pico. Any suggestions?

However, I think you have been using mutt lately, right? I have not made the switch yet, and nano makes pine a lot more enjoyable than the native pine composer, especially with that "-t" option that turned up the other day. And it uses function keys for shortcuts to replace the ctrl key combinations. For instance F1=help, F2=exit, F3=update, F4=justify, F5=include, F6=search, etcetera etcetera etcetera. This is from the pico man page: Description Pico is a simple, display-oriented text editor based on the Pine message system composer. As with Pine, commands are displayed at the bottom of the screen, and context- sensitive help is provided. <smip> ---------- Sounds like two different editors in this blurb.
