comes with the -nw switch, which I use to have emacs use the same
xterm as mutt.  Perhaps my confusion springs from my unfamiliarity
with *client wrt emacs.

emacsclient filename

puts "filename" in a buffer on an already running emacs.

On one hand, you have less time to gleefully jump up and down while
anticipating the start of emacs, but on the other hand you have all of your
buffers in the same instance of emacs.

LOL :-)


gnuclient accepts more command line arguments than emacsclient, but last I
checked (not recently) its authentication method was flimsy.

I use emacsclient along with Post mode and it works very well (Thanks, Rob).
My only complaint is that there is no easy way to raise and lower the emacs
window - I have to alt-tab (M-tab) to the emacs window, type my e-mail and
then alt-tab back to Mutt.
