Well, it seems nobody was able to help me out, but I did find a solution |
| 9 |
that works very well, if anybody is interested. I simply put the |
| 10 |
following lines in my .bashrc and now my lines wrap at 78 characters |
| 11 |
(considered "correct" for USENET), assuming the console is 80 characters |
| 12 |
(I may have to fix this). |

TIN_VI_OPTIONS="set wm=2" |
| 15 |
alias tin='EDITOR="/usr/bin/vi" EXINIT="${TIN_VI_OPTIONS}" /usr/bin/tin' |

It took a lot of manpage reading to figure this little tidbit out. It |
| 18 |
wasn't entirely clear to me that options are passed via an environment |
| 19 |
variable. With VIM, you can pass them via the -f switch. |
