ARS is in my ~/Mail directory. Without `=' it says ARS is not a
mailbox.

After losing some more hair, I found that a freshly installed Debian
testing mutt package (1.5.9i) without any .muttrc behaves a bit
differently: after setting content_type, it invokes the editor
_without_
any argument, so the message body simply cannot be saved.
I believe this is a bug in the development version around content_type.
You are probably using the stable (1.4) version, that's why you do not
face the problem.
Anyways, thanks for the advices. Does anyone know where the bug list
can
be found?
