When I am finished writing an email, I get something similar at bottom
of my mutt screen:
Error running vi '/tmp/mutt-MarahIII-1000-2799-33'!
I have tried using:
set editor=/usr/bin/elvis
set editor=vi
set editor=/usr/bin/vi
and even commenting out the line all together.
Is vi == elvis on your system?
yes, sorry for not making that clear
No matter what, I get the same error.
I check the /tmp directory and see the two mutt files and I think the
error always relates to message no sent.
Any help?
What program/version is /bin/sh on your system? Mutt invokes the editor
as:
/bin/sh -c 'vi /tmp/foo'
One thing you might try is to run that command via your shell and print
out the exit code (in bash you can echo $?). Normally this should be 0
if no error occurred.
me
ran your command followed by echo $? and it returned a 1
fwiw- I just tried running this on openbsd and it returned the 0.
Thanks for your help.

Well, I just thought of something else to try and this is what I did: since (in Slackware) vi is linked to elvis, I used vim to create a file in /tmp. I then ran echo $? and it returned 0. I then set my editor to vim in my .muttrc and created and sent a message using vim. No problems whatsoever. Problem is with user/elvis and not with mutt :) Thanks to all for your help.

Re: [sillent1...@gmail.com: Re: vi and mutt problem]
I found the problem. I had an .exrc file. I renamed it and vi ran with no problems. I even set my mutt editor as vi, created and sent an email, and again, no problems. All is well now :) Thanks to all for your help, but also sorry for the noise since it wasn't mutt related at all. Michael E.

Sorry for not making myself clear. It ended in 1. Been rather sick and not on that machine till maybe tomorrow, and will execute the strace.
