According to the mutt user list, /bin/sh from FreeBSD is `broken' in such a way, that e.g. a spawned emacs as an editor doesn't get a ^G through. Instead mutt aborts the current command and emacs is detached. Could mutt be configured from the Makefile to always use another shell for running the editor, e.g. bash? (I would have to depend on it) On a side note, mutt in an xterm cannot be resized due to the ncurses version in -stable (also from the mutt list). Since there is a ncurses port, could mutt depend on this also? Finally I'd like to mention that 0.93 was almost immediately followed by 0.93.1.
