What doesn't get called when you press e, the script? (Just making
sure I got that right..)
One way to try to figure out things is to check the current $editor
value from within Mut:
:set ?editor
This will give you the current editor setting, so you can verify it's
correct. If it's correct, you can check that Mutt can execute it, with
the ! command:
!/path/to/your/editor/here
You don't say what the values are, so something to try (if you haven't
yet) is to put full paths into the settings. Maybe our PATH setting
isn't set up the way you think it is, if you're launching Mutt via some
graphical shell for instance. This shouldn't be a problem if it's
started from a shell window though. Still worth a try...
Hope this helps,
Mikko
