As I thought, it was a terminal issue.

instead of 

set mail_editor_command "mutt -H '%s'"

using

mail_editor_command "export TERM=vt220; mutt -H '%s'; export TERM=rxvt"

produces a usable display. I'd got this set as an alias in my bash profile
but had completely forgotten about it.

Many thanks everyone who chimed in with advice, even those of you who told
me not to use mutt ;-)

Oh, you don't! I want to use it because it has all the features that I need
when writing mails - saving mails in appropriate mailbox, being able to add
attachments, use of my address book, and so on.

My settings are

set sendmail_command "/usr/bin/exim -oi -t -oem -odb"
set mail_editor_command "vim \"%s\" -c \"set tw=72\" "

I don't think you need mutt to send mail from slrn, it delivers the mail
directly to the MTA.

slrn & mutt - display problem

2005-09-22 Thread Gary
When I use slrn try to reply to a posting by email the entire window simply
goes black. My mail_editor_command is "mutt -H '%s'", and I am using rxvt
(in Cygwin). I know that mutt starts, and if I kill that process I get my
slrn back again, though when I then quit slrn the terminal no longer echoes
key presses. Any clues?

It looks like it is a terminal problem to me, since I've learned that
through following the key presses that I normally would, I get the body of
the mail to edit in my editor (displayed correctly), then when I finish that
I go back to my lovely black on black colour scheme whilst in mutt, and then
finally back to slrn where I can again see what is going on. So mutt is
there and accepting input and acting on it. It just doesn't want to show me
what it is doing :-(
