# Invoke a background edit session in a new GNU Screen or tmux window.

# This script is derived from Aaron Schrab's tmuxwait script, posted to
# mutt-dev at
# <http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-dev/Week-of-Mon-20200406/000591.html>.
#
# If you run mutt inside screen or tmux, add to your muttrc:
#   set background_edit
#   set editor = '/path/to/bgedit-screen-tmux.sh [youreditor]'
#
# It may also be useful to modify something like contrib/bgedit-detectgui.sh
# to look for the $STY or $TMUX environment variables and set those
# configuration variables appropriately.
