X-Spam-Level:
Package: exmh
Version: 1:2.7.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The external editor in prferences is set to:
/usr/share/exmh/exmh-async xterm -e vi
When Comp is invoked the error message:
Error in startup script: no application named "xterm" while executing
"send $exmh [list Edit_Ident [winfo name .]]" (file "/usr/share etc...
occurs.
Hence it is not possible to send message, using an external program.

i've just checked: on a new install, the default editor is
set to sedit which is builtin.
have you set the ext editor command to xterm yourself?

do you happen to have no xterm installed?

it certainly is possible; but if your preferences specify to use commands
that are not installed exmh is not at fault...
i'm closing this bug hereby. but i will likely adjust the
preferences *help* text to mention x-terminal-emulator instead of xterm
where it lists example commands to use.
