1.1.8: Mutt can't spawn editor or shell



Hello,

I recently installed Cygwin 1.1.8 on my Win98 box and
I've been having problems with Mutt. It runs fine
mostly
but it fails to launch an external editor or run
shell commands (using the `!' key). It doesn't produce
any error messages, it just seems to skip the edit or
shell-command step as if it couldn't spawn a process.

I have vim installed, it's in my PATH and it runs fine
by itself (and I can run shell commands from within
vim).

I've set the editor variable in my Muttrc but none
of "vim", "/usr/bin/vim" and "/usr/bin/vim.exe" or
"$EDITOR" work. And mutt is reading my Muttrc since
other changes I make do have an effect.

Similarly, I've set SHELL in the environment to be
/bin/bash and the shell variable in Muttrc to be
the same, but no dice.

I've appended the results of cygcheck -s -v -r.

Any help would be appreciated ...

Y.


[Hope this doesn't get too mangled by Yahoo's mail
form]
