Interesting that control-g works here. I (and other people I know) were tormented by this problem and nobody discovered that solution. Perhaps because there are no other common cases in mutt where control-g is needed?
I think the average console user will try control-c and escape in this situation, but it's not remotely intuitive that you need to type bell characters to escape from some bad UI state. Mutt should definitely either hint the user that this option is available, or interpret control-c or escape as the user (almost certainly) intends it. -- Peter Eckersley p...@eff.org Senior Staff Technologist Tel +1 415 436 9333 x131 Electronic Frontier Foundation Fax +1 415 436 9993 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
