Sounds overly complicated. > it maybe takes more steps - but it is a lot safer than making mutt > store a changed version of some message into the same folder and > deleting the orginal. Since that's what mutt already does with the <edit-message> command, I wouldn't be worried. Mutt doesn't actually delete it, it just marks it as deleted. The next time you <sync-mailbox>, it will actually be deleted. It looks like modifying the $editor variable and resetting it later is the easiest solution. It's a shame mutt can't do this more elegantly. Thanks Sven. Steve
