| Oct 3, 2021 at 10:50 | comment | added | NickD | Wait: is there a single file called /tmp/mutt-*? Does the asterisk not imply globbing?· | |

| Oct 3, 2021 at 3:18 | comment | added | user3236841 | Btw, I exit emacs using 'C-x C-c'. Btw, thanks for the detailed explanation! | |
| Oct 3, 2021 at 3:11 | comment | added | user3236841 | I have even gone out and applied the executable to the /tmp/mutt-* file and it does work when applied using the commandline so I do not understand why it does not work for me. | |
| Oct 3, 2021 at 2:58 | comment | added | user3236841 | Yes, I did. I have verified that it is correct and the path leads to the executable which is as here: ianfinlayson.net/posts/10-mutt (and works with vim). | |

| Oct 3, 2021 at 1:47 | comment | added | NickD | Did you fix up the path so that it points to the right executtable? Edited the question to point that out (in the TL;DR section). | |
| Oct 3, 2021 at 1:41 | comment | added | user3236841 | My thanks to you for your help, and my apologies. However, this does not appear to run e-mail process, or at least have any effect on the file. | |
