Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.11-2
Severity: minor

I just tried to comment on a bug report during a dist-upgrade and vim
was temporarily not available.  After entering the subject in mutt, I
got:

| 729:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~] mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| sh: vim: command not found

It would be nice to have a more informative message here, such as
"Invokation of editor failed: $message"


This is easy to reproduce.  Just put something like
    set editor = 'doesntexist'
in your .muttrc.
