I've started using emacs as editor for mutt. I'm specified it in the
muttrc file and also have setup a script file(e-lisp) in /home/me/.mutt called
post.el which is a package for running emacs as an email editor with
mutt. It seems to be working fine, but I have a couple of
questions.
1.) what does emacs vs emacs client mean? I read that I must run emacs
and mutt on the same host.. I don't understand the overall picture
with this. Why/how is this different from specifying Pico in the
.muttrc file? What is a server? I had to include some lines in my
.emacs file about that.
2.) On the tool bar at the top of the emacs window, to the right of
Mule, is a category called Post. It has several commands concerning
quoting and signatures, also one for exiting "Save Message and Return
from Post (C-c C-c), which I assume saves the compose buffer. But it
doesn't close emacs, it just leaves me in the *scratch* buffer and I
have to go ahead and close it with the C-xC-c command.
Thanks in advance
