I spawn detachable screen sessions for mutt email replies. Details here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg40856.html It would be pretty easy to adapt it to spawn a new terminal window containing the screen session I would think. I could put some effort into that if you have trouble. The above scheme has the advantage that one can detach from the screen session before completing the reply and reattach later. By spawning a terminal window you could get that (reply session survives window close) and immediate return to your mutt reading (because the reply is off in another window). Let me know if you'd like me to suggest modifications to the existing scripts I use.
