And I would like emacs to switch back when I hit C-X > #. Specify a mode? I don't know what you mean by that, but it's not necessary to swtich screens at all. Instead, use emacsclient or gnuclient (depending on whether you're using emacs or xemacs) as your editor in mutt, and just leave emacs running somewhere (maybe screen 2). Since mutt waits for the mail to be composed, there's no reason to care about what is going on in screen1; so you might as well run your editor there. If you have emacs running somewhere, emacsclient will connect to it and allow you to edit any buffers which were running in the original instance of emacs, and save you all the loading time of executing emacs every time you want to edit a message. -- Derek D.
