I encounter a problem with emacs and mutt under gnu/linux.
In .emacs I have the line :
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
In .muttrc I have this line :
set editor="emacs --eval '(text-mode)'"
That looks a bit suspicious to me. I think it's better to put the
configuration for the major mode in Emacs' init file. This is what
I used to do when I used mutt. First, in .muttrc:
set editor = emacsclient
(I used emacsclient, which I preferred, but it should work with
"set editor = emacs" as well).
Formerly, when writing a message with muut, the buffer was in
text-mode
and fill-mode was active.
Today, with emacs 26.1 instead of 25.3 and mutt 1.11.3 instead
of
1.10.1, this is no more the case.
When I write a message in mutt, emacs is called but the buffer
is in
fundamental mode and I must type M-x auto-fill-mode :-(.
The best way to do this, I think, is to use `auto-mode-alist`. Put
this in ~/.emacs.d/init.el:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
'("mutt-[a-z0-9]+-[0-9]+-[0-9]+.*\\'" . message-mode))
In case that wraps badly, that should be a single line, with a
space between the dot and `message-mode`.
Note that the regular expression should match the file names that
mutt creates. I had this work for me for a long long time, but
it's of course possible that the format changes. You'd have to
adjust the regexp then.
Note also that this puts mutt messages into `message-mode`, which
I prefer, but you can use `text-mode` as well.
That should work, it used to work for me. (I switched to mu4e, but
I've been using mutt as a backup until quite recently, so the
setup has been tested with Emacs 26).
