Changing Editor

[Bill <c4c4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been using GNU Emacs for some time now as an editor for mutt. In
fact it's been so long I can't remember how to set mutt to use
different text editor.

#1. Is it possible to use an application like Writeroom or even
 TextEdit?

#2. If so, how would one go about doing this?


I've tried changing the set editor value in .muttrc to:

set editor=/Volumes/mbp/Applications/WriteRoom.app

But this yielded an abort message in mutt when calling the editor.

The value I now have in .muttrc is:

set editor=~/bin/emacsclient

echo $EDITOR returns: /Users/bj/bin/emacsclient


Any insight would be appreciated.
