I currently use something along the lines (in my $HOME/.muttrc)
set editor="vim '+/^$'"
(pretty standard stuff.) But every once and a while I would like to
jump back to Mutt to check a message. Since I'm running screen I
thought, ``Oh, I'll just spawn vim off in another screen and then jump
back to mutt if need be.''
Well if I do just that:
set editor="screen vim -f '+/^$'"
Screen spawns off a vim session just fine, but the contents of the file
is empty. I used the `-f` thinking that vim was detaching from the
shell, but know difference is noticed.
So my next try was to write a quick wrapper around screen and vim and
pass it argv1.
% cat hack
#!/bin/sh
/usr/apps/bin/screen /usr/apps/bin/vim -- $1
And in my .muttrc file.
set editor="/home/sbank/hack"
Still no go. Screen spawns with vim, but no e-mail message to edit.
Does anyone have any suggestions? (I looked in the mail archives, but
all I came up with is someone saying you should try the `-x` option to
vim. Which is clearly wrong if you just do a quick man on vim.)
Thanks,
Steve
