On the way trying to convince mutt to use emacs -nw instead of vi by editing .muttrc as:
set editor=emacs -nw ...which didn't work - I came across a whole bunch of links related to emacs: rland@MINI:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb 12 2001 /usr/bin/emacs -> /etc/a lternatives/emacs rland@MINI:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/emacs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 12 2001 /etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs20 rland@MINI:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs20 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 12 2001 /usr/bin/emacs20 -> emac s-20.7 rland@MINI:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacsclient lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Feb 12 2001 /usr/bin/emacsclient -> /etc/alternatives/emacsclient rland@MINI:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs-20.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2913364 Jun 20 2000 /usr/bin/emacs-20.7 rland@MINI:~$ What are all these links for? I suppose they have beeen created by apt-get and no idea why. How should I set the mutt enviroment variable $EDITOR to to forget vi and use emacs -nw instead?
