> tmux to give me a single horizontal split so that I can browse and compose at the same time

Do you mind sharing how you do this? Browsing plus composing has been the one thing that keeps annoying me for not being streamlined and typically I just open multiple mutts/neomutts.



if you use tmux, read up on "set background_edit" in mutt. welcome to the 21th century! :D


I will not be much help I am afraid: `mutt` for the upper and `mutt -R` for the lower.


Oh okay, so that's basically what I do manually anyway then. Thanks.


Me too, but sometimes no need to make things more complicated. It's also a feature of mutt - that I can fire several instances almost instantaneously and use them for different purposes. I have to use outlook at work, and there's nothing more frustrating than waiting for it to load up, and not being able to view and search my old emails when I am composing emails (or is it when I'm selecting contacts - I can't remember).
