So in .muttrc I put: set editor="emacs -q -l ~/.emacsMutt" This defines an emacs session located on right half of my screen. My objective is to have the editor displayed to right of screen and the mutt messages remain displayed to its left. However, when the emacsMutt window starts, the mutt messages window is replaced by an empty emacs window, and as the result I no longer see the mutt messages. An -nw option only makes the emacsMutt session full screen. Haines Brown
