 | Hey everybody,
My lame officemate uses pine, and pointed out that it notifies you of new mail
that comes in while composing a letter. I remember `newmail` used to do this
for me, but I haven't used that in years. Does mutt have a feature like this
or is this a "mutt is a MUA not a toaster" issue?
Mike

mutt's pretty much suspended while the editor is running, so it's not going
to pop up a new mail notification... :-)

This is wokring fine for me:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/newmail
#/home/mhunter/bin/initsig
/home/mhunter/bin/vim $*
/usr/sbin/killall newmail
Thanks for the replies,
Mike

this does not work when any other editor is being used.
so it requires the use of "pico" as an editor, too. (i think)

yes, mutt is not an all-in-one tool - feature! (see sig, too)

Your editor's an editor, not a toaster.
