Hi!
I'm a new mutt 1.2.5i user and I need some help
to configure Emacs as my editor. Actually it works fine,
but when I have just to write the Subject and nothing else
(as when subscribing to a mail-list) I hit ^X^S then ^X^C
to exit Emacs and the message is aborted. My current
.muttrc line for the editor has:
set editor="emacs -nw"
What'd I do?
Nothing much. :-) What you did was to allow the editor to start and
finish without changing the file's modification time, which Mutt
treats as an indication that you didn't actually write a message. I
find that this behavior is usually accurate for me, so I don't know
how to disable it, but for one *particular* message, all you need to
do is make some change to the message body such that emacs can save
the message -- typing a letter and then deleting the letter will do.
