Question

I am using tbemail.el with Thunderbird+External Editor Extension to compose letters in emacs. The major-mode for this is tbemail and yet I cannot add a hook to use visual-line-mode (automatically) for these buffers. The following lines are what I have in my .emacs file:

(require 'tbemail)
(add-hook 'tbemail 'visual-line-mode)
(add-hook 'tbemail-mode 'visual-line-mode)

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

The hook is “tbemail-mode-hook” so try this instead:

(add-hook 'tbemail-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)
