Change version of vim used by mutt


When I edit mails in mutt (OS X 10.12.3), the vim version I get is the one compiled by root@apple.com. When I start vim from the terminal I get the one compiled by Homebrew, which is the one I want (has +clipboard). How do I make sure that mutt uses this one too?


Solution

  • Easy fix: Added the following to .muttrc:

    set editor="vim"
