Re: Vim spontaneously switch to tabs from spaces for indents

[when replying via Google Groups, could you trim the extra spaces
that Google inserts between each line, refrain from top-posting and
trim to just the germane content? Thanks!]

AFAIK, vim should *always* report something back here, even in the
"tiny" build of vim. In my local "vim.tiny", it at least reports
back "expandtab" or "noexpandtab". In larger builds, it reports

expandtab
Last set from ~/tmp/test.vimrc

If you don't get *anything*, are you certain that you're running Vim
rather than some other vi clone such as nvi? Could you include the
output of "vim --version" or ":version" to see if there's anything
suspect in it?

Thanks,
