Ollivier Robert: |According to Randall Hopper: |> Any thoughts? | |The problem is that emacs plays with SIGIO (^G) and due to a bug in /bin/sh |(used to run emacs from Mutt), it makes emacs detach. There even now an |option for mutt to use another shell. | |Run configure with | | --with-exec-shell=SHELL Specify alternate shell (ONLY if /bin/sh is broken) | |Details are a bit muddy in my memory but that should do it. Thanks. (sorry about the time lag) Using /bin/csh clears it right up. BTW, do you know if the /bin/sh SIGIO-related bug has been reported and/or fixed in -current?
