Indeed. Your example (quoted in the thread "Dynamic variables (was; Mutt configurations)") made me wonder about the reasoning behind the whole `echo $[COLUMNS - 72]` -deal.
In your example (using an 80 char terminal) the above evaluates to 8.
What sense, then, does it make to set wrapmargin using the above expression?
I dunno, maybe I'm misunderstanding something... Does wrapmargin 'count' from the right side or the left side of the terminal?
Yes, wrapmargin makes your line length the width of your terminal screen less the wrapmargin value. Evaluating 'Columns - 72' gives you a 72 char line length.
Making the term narrower than 80 chars, mutt reflows the text to fit, so I'm all happy about that.
