Some time ago I tried to get Mutt to open a window in an already running instance of Nedit, but ran into the problem, that Mutt returns as soon as the edit command exits. If you reuse an existing instance of a running editor, the command to fire up a new window will (in the case of Nedit at least) exit right away, which naturally confuses Mutt. If anyone has a solution to that problem, I'd appreciate to know how you do it. And please don't drag Nedit into the editor discussion, there will likely be enough postings in this thread without it :) > Greg /Niels Chr. -- Niels Christian Bank-Pedersen, NCB1-RIPE.
