Odd enough, I didn't receive that parent message. Anyway..
To conveniently switch between graphics and terminal editor I have the
following in muttrc
source '~/.mutt/detectgui.sh|'
and detectgui.sh contains
#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "$MUTT_USE_GVIM" -a -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
echo 'set editor="gvim -f"'
echo 'set background_edit=yes'
else
echo 'set editor=vim'
fi
So exporting MUTT_USE_GVIM=yes (or anything) in the shell invoking mutt
switches to the background editing feature. Maybe that helps some to
test it.
