Thanks Michael. Well, I just thought of something else to try and this is what I did: since (in Slackware) vi is linked to elvis, I used vim to create a file in /tmp. I then ran "echo $?" and it returned 0. I then set my editor to vim in my .muttrc and created and sent a message using vim. No problems whatsoever. Problem is with user/elvis and not with mutt :) Thanks to all for your help. I'll ask help on the Slackware forums and if anybody cares, I'll post the "fix".
