The reason I'm using the !cat option is - like you mentioned, if I only use ":r /tmp/file", then, things get 'messed' up. And, while in mutt, I find out that I'm editing two files, not good.. The usage of "-c ':r !cat /tmp/file'" does solve the issue of editing two files, but, I cannot seem to get the send-hook correct, and depending on how/where I place my quotes, I get different errors. - Which is troubling, because I do have other send-hooks defined and working well. -- GG
