There nearly always is a running copy of Firefox.  I've not noticed
this problem before, maybe it was just one very brief E-Mail that
provoked it, since then most have worked OK.

Thanks Michael.
I think the  did it for me, its more than just a
colon.

After many years of exclusive vimming, I use nano for all prose
that I type, so the following is a very useful addition to my config and
re-sourcing to the defaults in .muttrc at the end is also cool. 

macro compose v 'set 
editor="~/bin/mutt_edit_vim":source ~/.muttrc'
macro compose n 'set 
editor="~/bin/mutt_edit_nano":source ~/.muttrc'

ciao

Eric

PS Kudos to vim for introducing serialised undo tree - totally cool.

Hi,

I'm just curious, but why do you use nano for prose?
