Hello everyone, I've got a question/suggestion about sending mails. I love mutt and have used it for years and always came back to it from other mostly GUI-clients like Outlook and Thunderbird. ;)
There is just one thing that is annoying me, sending mails .. When I hit the button for a new mail, mutt drops into the background and a new vi(m) session is opened I can type my mail in. This is fine most of the time. But when I have to send a larger eMail or get disrupted things are getting worse. In these moments I would like to see if there are new mails waiting for me, but I cannot as mutt is running in background, waiting for my editor session. I have to postpone the email, have a quick look into my inbox and then recall the postponed mail or write or answer a different mail. Is there a way to make mutt spawn a new process with the editor in and go back instantly into the index view? Maybe even like in Thunderbird have vi(m) sessions open for a multitude of emails? I haven't looked into the code, but I guess mutt is waiting for the editor to end, then reads the temporary created textfile, adds the needed headers and sends the email using "sendmail"-option configured program. Maybe this could be a feature request for 1.6? cheers, Marcus -- pedo mellon a minno
