I have a script that fires up mutt in an xfce4-terminal window. In my ksh shell .kshrc file, I use stty to disable (undef) the stop (^S) and start (^Q) characters. However, when I run mutt as follows:
xfce4-terminal <various options> -e /usr/local/bin/mutt & I find that the stop/start characters remain active. I have tried adding multiple -e options to xfce4-terminal to disable the chars before running mutt, but with no luck. Is there some method to disable these keys in .muttrc which is processed inside the running terminal? I've looked for a something that will execute a command in the current shell (rather than a sub-shell) but see nothing. I'm guessing that this is a simple problem, and I'm missing the forest for the trees.
