C-c C-c WORKS!
In Mutt, set your editor to emacsclient: set editor="emacsclient" # editor to use when composing messages and use C-x # to exit. You can do other tricks by building an elisp Funny, I actually did the opposite. For some reason, if my .emacs says start server, then C-c C-c breaks in Mutt. Since I have a fast system, I don't use emacsclient, so I took (server-start) out of .emacs and it works. Something for the archive at least. -J -- Jonathan Pennington | A computer without Windows [EMAIL PROTECTED] | is like a dog without http://www.coastalgeology.org | bricks tied to its head.

For example, one of these days I will get around to writing a function like you also need the following line in ~/.emacs to enable the server part at emacs startup: (gnuserv-start) For vi lovers this can all be done in a similar way with xvile, I use it all the time, the equivalent to 'emacslient' is 'vileget'. It's slightly cleverer than the above in fact, if vileget can't find a running xvile it starts one up for you. [x]vile is my vi clone of choice, it's actually based on an emacs engine, has most of the goodies that emacs gives you but is close enough to 'real' vi to present no problems when moving from vi to xvile and back. It also has perl scripting built into it if you want. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

It means access to files is much faster. I don't log out. Server is up 24/7. Problem is that I don't want to have to worry about an emacs session being open to run the client. I do many things at once, and if I accidently close emacs, I have to restart it to get my email. Dual Pentium II processors with 3 128M ram sticks on a SCSI system. Two iterations of SetiAtHome (1/CPU), Lyx, Netscape (memory hog) and multiple small stuff running on one of 3 screens, Emacs starts with no noticable delay even if an Emacs window *is* open. There's a small delay if Blender or GRASS is running on a screen. Faster? That's not my problem. No simple laziness is my problem. It's just too difficult for me to type three control sequences when I can type two :-) My hands are used to two, and I don't want to change... Unless, of course, I can type just one :-) What did Larry Wahl say about laziness? Unfortunately, I don't know lisp. -J

Again with the lost configs. I used to just type that sequence after writing an email and emacs would save and exit, automagically releasing control to Mutt. Unfortunately, now I have to explicitily exit before continuing. Does anyone know what I want to adjust to make the sequence C-c C-c (or any sequence for that matter) do this automagically again? I know that this is really a .emacs question, but I thought it was in post.el, so it's a Mutt specific .emacs question :-) -J
