Ollivier Robert:
 |According to Randall Hopper:
 |> Any thoughts?
 |
 |The problem is that emacs plays with SIGIO (^G) and due to a bug in /bin/sh 
 |(used to run emacs from Mutt), it makes emacs detach. There even now an
 |option for mutt to use another shell.
 |
 |Run configure with
 |
 | --with-exec-shell=SHELL    Specify alternate shell (ONLY if /bin/sh is broken)
 |
 |Details are a bit muddy in my memory but that should do it.

Thanks. (sorry about the time lag)  Using /bin/csh clears it right up.

BTW, do you know if the /bin/sh SIGIO-related bug has been reported and/or
fixed in -current?

Thanks,

Randall
