[mew-int 00825] Re: Using mew as external mailreader

[David A. Panariti]

Also, if you keep an emacs always running or don't want to wait for
one to start up, look into the gnuclient package.  It in involves a
server running on an emacs instance and a command line program that
sends commands to the emacs client.  You can tell it to wait for the
command to complete, or not.
You would use it with its eval option, just like your emacs command in
your script.
