I do in my .slrnrc
set editor_command "emacs -nw '%s'"
and I don't have any customization in my .emacs. It just works for me,
after finishing the posting I type C-c C-c and it returns me to slrn,
to send it.
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 think it is distracting to need to move my attention from the
terminal window running slrn/mutt to the emacs window and back. This
setup works also over ssh, which is very important for me.
hth.
