Would be nice to see this function. Do you use `defined-derived-mode'? > i put in my .muttrc the row: > set editor="emacs -f my-text-mode" I think it is better to frob auto-mode-alist in your .emacs: ;; Untested. (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("mutt-[a-z]+-[0-9]+-[0-9]+\\'" . my-text-mode)) The just put this in your .muttrc: set editor=emacs Does this fix the problem?
