emacsclient help

[Bill]

I'm attempting to use emacsclient with Mutt, in OS X Terminal. So far
I am able to get Terminal in general to 'access' Emacs (GNU), leaving
the Terminal waiting for a return response.

I have .bash_profile set to:

export EDITOR="/Applications/Emacs
Carbon/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient"

Echo $EDITOR returns the proper path to Emacs (GNU vs 2.0.50.1)

I have tested the about, using a file as a parameter, and it works
fine.

I have .emacs set to:

(server-start)

I have also set .muttrc to:

set editor="/Applications/Emacs
Carbon/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient"


However, when I attempt to write a new email or reply to an existing
email, mutt returns the following message:

Aborted unmodified message.


Any ideas what else I might try?

Thanks

Could be you are using a too old version of Carbon Emacs! It's not  
the Emacs major version number, but the time the application was  
built. Its makers had a learning curve until Carbon Emacs was able to  
provide UNIX like services ...

OTOH: can you send some file to Emacs via emacsclient? Does 'crontab - 
e' open the (empty?) table in Emacs? How is it when you change EDITOR  
from "/Applications/Emacs Carbon/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/ 
emacsclient" to "/Applications/Emacs\ Carbon/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
bin/emacsclient"?
