Package: mutt
Version: 2.2.13-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
Using mutt with emacs as editor is my choice for the last decades. But
now, I experienced some problems:
1 - emacs started to complain after editing a message and closing it
with C-x C-c. The message was: "no server editing buffer exist". All I
had to do was to save the buffer (C-x C-s) and kill it (C-c k), so I got
the standart screen before sendind the e-mail.
2 - looking for solutions, I found something about emacs server and gave
it a try (is this necessary or not? if not, how to get this fixed this
way?). First I changed my editor variable in .muttrc from
set editor="emacs %s -f post-mode"
to
set editor = "emacsclient -a ' ' -t -n"
Then added the following lines to .emacs:
;; ~/.emacs - Server Configuration
;; Enable server mode for daemon functionality
(require 'server)
;; Start the server only if we are in daemon mode.
;; This is the safest, most correct way.
(when (daemonp)
(server-mode))
Enabled emacs.service in systemctl:
systemctl --user enable emacs.service
Rebooted to simulate real use in the future. When I try to compose or
answer an email I get the following from emacs (even if it is the first
thing I do):
The current server still has clients; delete them? (yes or no)
If I answer no, emacs opens regularly and I can edit and close the
client (learned that it must be done with C-x #, no C-x C-c). If the
answer is yes it closes emacs, go back to mutt screen saying "Aborted
unmodified message."
I'm clueless here, but I can provide any further information to fix
this. Running emacs 30.1 here, installed by emacs-gtk package from stock
Debian 13.
Best, Alexandre
