silent command switch

[bill lam]

Hi,
I use the following to write email using vim
set editor="vim -c 'set spell tw=70 et' '+/^$' "

This usually works very well except when there is no empty in the
file, then vim complains an error and need manual <CR>. How to use the
silent keyword to make it ignore error in this context?

Thanks in advance.

Try (untested):

set editor="vim -c \"set spell tw=70 et\" \"+call search('^$')\""

However you might have to experiment with the "\" escapes for it
to work. Much easier to move this stuff into
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim

I can confirm set ft? gives mail. How does vim know this filetyp?
The file name of the temp file is /tmp/mutt-blahblah without file
extension.

I think that anything starting mutt- is detected as "mail" filetype by
the autocommands defined at line 1013 and 2358 of
$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim (current version, dated 2008 Dec 08), provided
that there are 6 letters, digits, dashes, underscores, and/or (except in
special cases like muttrc.vim) dots after "mutt" for a total of 10
characters. However, that would match mutt-blahb or mutt-foo35 but not
mutt-blahblah -- or would it?

Best regards,
Tony.

Yes, you are correct. Those blah are just place-holders, a real
example is mutt-b2j-1000-11918-162 , the middle string is the name of
my server, and those digits will be randomly generated each time a
temperature is needed.
