It runs fine mostly but it fails to launch an external editor or run shell commands (using the `!' key). It doesn't produce any error messages, it just seems to skip the edit or shell-command step as if it couldn't spawn a process. I have vim installed, it's in my PATH and it runs fine by itself (and I can run shell commands from within vim). I've set the editor variable in my Muttrc but none of "vim", "/usr/bin/vim" and "/usr/bin/vim.exe" or "$EDITOR" work. And mutt is reading my Muttrc since other changes I make do have an effect. Similarly, I've set SHELL in the environment to be /bin/bash and the shell variable in Muttrc to be the same, but no dice. I've appended the results of cygcheck -s -v -r. Any help would be appreciated ... Y. [Hope this doesn't get too mangled by Yahoo's mail form] ---------- BEGIN cycheck OUTPUT ---------------------- Cygnus Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Sun Feb 25 01:56:17 2001
