[Help-nano] set fill 72 issue in Debian

[Niels ten Oever]

Dear all,

I hope this email finds you well, and thanks a lot for developing Nano. I am 
trying to use Nano with Mutt on Debian Jessie, and am trying set fill in 
.nanorc.

I have found other people who have had issues with this:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/setting-nano-to-wrap-at-72-cols-fails-252567/

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/11/msg00226.html

My .nanorc looks like this (I also added this to /etc/nanorc):

[code]
syntax "mutt"
color green "^>.*"
unset nowrap
set fill 68
set tabstospaces
set tabsize 4
set smarthome
[/code]

$ nano -V
 GNU nano version 2.2.6 (compiled 16:56:37, Jul 16 2014)

 Compiled options: --disable-wrapping-as-root --enable-color --enable-extra 
--enable-multibuffer --enable-nanorc --enable-utf8

Hope you got some guidance! My current fix is calling nano in mutt with:

set editor="nano -w -$" 

in .muttrc, but this is not really what I was hoping for. 

Thanks in advance,

Niels
