[lug] Mutt 1.4.2.2i and Vim 7.0 Not Getting Along

[Bill Thoen]

Sean, 

It will probably take you a lot less time to find what doesn't work
right in the attached vimrc file than I, so if you or anyone else wants 
to poke at it to find what causes this problem, have at it. I picked this 
up a few years ago and used it for editing my mutt mail because it had a 
routine in it somewhere that allowed mme to easily reformat a paragraph. 
It has worked fine with FC5, but there's something in it that now messes 
up color escape code on an xterm terminal.

At any rate, my default .vimrc works fine (although reformatting
paragraphs is a pain again), but this one doesn't handle syntax
highlighting well at all.

- Bill Thoen
