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 :)
