Mutt calls the editor after that. Which one did you set? please check: echo $EDITOR echo $VISUAL grep -i editor /etc/Muttrc grep -i editor $HOME/.muttrc now, if it is "vim" and the DISPLAY variable is set then it migh try to contact that DISPLAY - unto the timeout. Try this then: $ unset DISPLAY; mutt Does it work now? Next try: Chose a braindead editor: $ EDITOR=pico; mutt Better?
