Use gvim with mutt to compose email

2009-04-06 Thread Dave Feustel
I currently have the mutt editor set to vim. I would like to use gvim instead, but when I specify gvim and start a reply to an email, gvim starts with an empty screen. Is there a way to get mutt to start gvim with the message already loaded? Thanks.

Dear mutt community, here is a snippet of my muttrc set spoolfile=+inbox set mbox=+inbox set mbox_type=Maildir set folder="~/.muttmail" set move=yes since spoolfile and mbox are the same folder and move=yes, what is the meaning of move=yes in this situation? I copied this snippet from another us

Dear mutt community, I use macro index,pager G "! /usr/bin/getmail -v \n" "Invoke getmail" to get mail from pop servers. But as you see the macro works only in index and pager environment. I also want to be able to get mail when I was in directory browser, that is when I was changing mailboxes.
