I had a try what you had suggested but it
confused my .xsession settings. Actually I'm
very bad in "X" too and cannot quite follow
what you intended.
Why should mutt's behaviour change when
putting your line into .Xresources?
Mutt has it's own key functions (I hoped
not all had been documented). Maybe you
took "editor" for the editor being used when
composing the message body. Yet mutt documents
"editor" as what emacs user would name a mini-
buffer, the bottom line where you key the
email address, the subject etc in.
