C-x # does nothing C-x C-c ask me to save then returns control to slrn so that I can post, or re-edit. That looks good. Still, it would be nice to have it open automatically in mail-mode (or text mode) to do proper line-wrapping and quote highlighting etc. > Same for mutt: set editor="emacs -nw" in .muttrc, no customization >for mutt in .emacs. I don't need to switch to the mutt window, emacs >runs in the same terminal as mutt (or slrn). I'm going to try that out. The only down side is that there is a delay as a whole new instance of emacs fires up, as opposed to the immediate response of emacs client. Not a big deal, but for a quick one-line response it becomes noticeable. > > I think it is distracting to need to move my attention from the > terminal window running slrn/mutt to the emacs window and back.
