Package: mutt Version: 1.5.20-9+squeeze2 Severity: wishlist
When the shutdown scripts run as part of a shutdown by the administrator, users lose their changes. There is currently nothing that can be added to the shutdown scripts in /etc/init.d/ to initiate a graceful shutdown of users mutt instances. The workaround is a complex and ugly hack: Users must run mutt inside of a GNU screen session (with multi-user support compiled in), and then give permission to root to see their screen (privacy issue!). The admin then must search for which window number mutt is running in, and do a stuff "^q". That's very complex just to get a proper shutdown, and still fails to work when a user is editing a message. Mutt should not require third-party tools, complex scripting, and privacy compromises for something as basic as shutting down. Mutt should diligently shutdown properly when a SIGQUIT is received. -- Package-specific info: Mutt 1.5.20 (2009-06-14) Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Michael R. Elkins and others.
