This is what I do (using wrappers). This works well in practice. My scripts are available via my Mutt page: http://www.vinc17.net/mutt/index.en.html#xscreen But for instance, Mutt needs to be recompiled with some special option --with-exec-shell=/path/to/sh.screen to run the /bin/sh wrapper instead of /bin/sh directly. > If I understand correctly, this bug is, roughly speaking, about (c). > The specs in question would be the mailcap spec and the implementation > of xdg-open.

Concerning screen, it would be great if it supported hooks to allow things done by my escreen wrapper http://www.vinc17.net/unix/xscreen/escreen in a much cleaner way (my wrapper tries to guess what screen session will be resumed). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
