It never fails... :) Better mailto: mutt solution..



I believe I mentioned I wouldn't optimize that script I just
posted if I ran across a better solution....  :-) 

Next window I opened..

#!/bin/bash

# USAGE:
#
#    rename this script to XXX-newterminal to start new terminal
window
#    with cmd=XXX and args=as passed (e.g., XXX=mutt)
#    when cmd completes, terminal window will close.

#GEOMETRY="-geometry 120x40"
TERMINAL="x-terminal-emulator"

CMD=$(basename "$0")
CMD="${CMD%*-newterminal}"
exec $TERMINAL $GEOMETRY -e "$CMD" "$@"
