Earlier this month, there was a thread on using emacs as the editor
for mutt. I'm still having trouble setting it up.
I have a gnuserv operating to my satisfaction by slavishly following
the post by David Vanderschel "Subject: gnuserv: Various Tips for
Fully Exploiting this Functionality" (July 26 2000).
I have modified my ~/.muttrc by adding the following two lines
set editor="gnuclientw"
set tmpdir="c:\/cygwin\/tmp"
the second line was a futile attempt at reconciling mutt's idea of
tmpdir (/tmp) and gnuclientw's idea of what /tmp equated to (c:\tmp).
I have now eliminated the message in the *Messages* buffer "Use M-x
make-directory to create a new directory", because gnuclientw wanted
to make a temp file in c:\tmp, and I now have emacs creating a file
`c:\cygwin\tmp\mutt-XXXXXX'. Unfortunately it is a blank file. It
neither has headings such as (To: or Subject:) nor does it have the
included message.
I am now stuck.
