Ah! the arg is a file name ... the temp file through which mutt and emacs pass the message draft. I did try running `emacs -nw` from the command line, and it worked with no problems. However, when I taked on that file name, I got a slew of errors, possibly due to that "//" that mutt inserted for some reason: [pfd-studio-mac-pro:~] peterdavis% /Applications/Emacs-mac-port.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacs -nw '/var/folders/kj/ymbjk_bj5v394cx4ffynd8yh0000gp/T//mutt-pfd-studio-mac-pro-502-44534-19996952971688465714' Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/Users/xin/Documents/emacs-mac-port/build/libexec/emacs/24.3/x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.2/) does not exist.

Please check your installation! Thank you. Now to unravel this. -pd -- -------- Peter Davis The Tech Curmudgeon http://www.techcurmudgeon.com
