Apparently the BSD way to specify editor ($EDITOR / $VISUAL / mailcap)
sucks pretty bad. I reckon mailcap is basically a good idea, but doesn't
work very well, and could use some occam's razor. I hazard to guess
that the freedesktop people have reimplemented it rather than fixed it :/
Anyway,

One thing to mention: sh links to dash in my case, which has no built-in

Use ''.'' instead of ''source'', it's POSIX.

Since this issue cropped up I figured I might as well take a quick look at
the script. There are two other things that might be worth changing after a
quick skim:
- Not sure what's up with all the ''[ -n `which foo` ]'' idioms. Use
''type'' and just check the exit code.
- Instead of escaping in

I'm not sure, but I think the semantics when this variable
first began to be used was to distinguish a full-screen editor
I also believe these were the original semantics, but they are difficult to
get around in a modern environment. Also of course this assumes that the
user is even using xterm. Perhaps there should be something like
SNOTES_TERMINAL=xterm -e
And, if SNOTES_TERMINAL is defined, it is put under
