Maybe the attached script is of any help. It is intended to be used
together with screen (but it might be possible to change this script to
use something other? :))
Just add the following line to your .muttrc and everythings should work
as expected.
`/path/to/mutt_compose.sh config`
btw: I think I will put this script on my homepage, if there is
interest. Might take some time though. :)
Greetings
