Hard wrapping not working for ft=mail about vim-pencil HOT 7 OPEN

Sorry for the delay. Try the 'textwidth':'72' without the quotes around 72.

from vim-pencil.

No problem! I tried it without the quotes but I still get tw=0. My workaround is to start vim with vim -c 'set tw=72' from mutt.

So I assume that vim-pencil should auto-detect hard wrapping automatically now. If you want to you can close this, but I'm also open for more suggestions/debugging. :-)

Well, I just realised that pencil isn't loaded at all. It only loads if I invoke it with :Pencil. Some ideas why that's the case?

from vim-pencil.

It will work if I invoke vim the following way:

vim -c "set ft=mail tw=72"

from vim-pencil.

If the filetype is 'mail', the autocmd statement should be firing, but isn't. I'm not sure why.

Is it initializing via the autocmd for markdown?

from vim-pencil.

I realise this is an old issue, but I seem to be having the same problem (only for md, not for mail). @niklaas did you solve it?

@rvodden I'm sorry but I stopped using vim-pencil. I switched to vim-pandoc some months ago.
