I think this is a mutt question and not a gnome-terminal question, but please correct me if I'm wrong. When I run mutt in a normal xterm, composing a new message (in emacs via emacsclient) leaves whatever I was viewing in mutt intact until I tell emacs I'm done. When I run mutt in gnome-terminal (the one distributed recently in the Helixcode GNOME release), mutt screen flips so that I see what was in the terminal window before I invoked mutt (and not what I was seeing in mutt). After a while, all I see is a whole lot of lines that say "Waiting for Emacs..." or something like that. This is annoying, and I'd like it to stop, but I couldn't find anything in the manual that helped. Any suggestions? Tia. -- - Jeff Abrahamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 610/270-4845
