ugh. don't remind me about the cut/paste issues. in your case, screen is fine :) Really, screen is just fine, I just got into tmux because I wanted to see what all the hype was about and now I'm much better with tmux than I ever was with screen. > | Then again, nearly 100% of my in-terminal work is done from another, > | permanently-connected machine, and my mac is just a portal to my > | linux-box-du-jour. > > My mac is my portal like yours (though I do a lot of coding locally and > push changes out - far far snappier, and one can do it on a train or > otherwise offline, pushing later).

Hrm. I'd be very interested in seeing how this works. I like the idea, but mutt's email editing is modal, right? How does that work with essentially backgrounding an editor? > Anyone wanting to see the code for any of the above is quite welcome, > BTW. Yes, please :) -Jeremy
