(Guessing) Is the DISPLAY environment variable set, and does it point to a valid X display? If so, Emacs will, by default, start up on the X display so referenced, and Mutt will most likely sit around doing absolutely nothing (and being non-responsive) until Emacs returns. Try unsetting $DISPLAY, or running 'emacs -nw' to force a tty-mode Emacs. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
