Yes, I think Jostein has a setup where he opens one mutt for each mailbox in advance! I tried to check in screen if a window exists and if not start mutt, but I couldn't find out how that is possible... I renamed MUTT_USE_SCREEN to MUTTJUMP_MULTI_SCREEN_MODE for clarity. > > If one just wants to open a new screen window every time > > muttjump is called, it would be enough to leave SCREEN mode disabled and > > set > > MUTT="screen -X screen mutt" > > Yes, I reverted to my original proposal: to do the above, > combined with a test for $STY.

Ok, I uploaded a new version which uses $STY. The setting MUTT_USE_SCREEN can be "yes", "no" or "auto". If is is "auto", screen is only used when $STY is set. If it is "yes", screen is always used (a new screen session might be started), and with "no", the terminal hack is always applied.

But maybe it would be cleaner to just use `type $1 >/dev/null 2>&1`. Johannes
