mutt_bgrun does the backgrounding; The viewer must not. Otherwise the early deletion problem continues. Perhaps is there an option to disable backgrounding in oowriter? Alternatively drop mutt_bgrun, and wait some seconds. Example: "oowriter %s \; sleep 42". That's less clean, but may just work. I think clean solutions are just 2: Either read file first then go background, or use mutt_bgrun with a blocking viewer. Bye!
