Control-g is used in all input prompts in mutt.

Control-c may be problematic as it is used differently. Escape would be my first intuition, too. cu AW -- [...] If you don't want to be restricted, don't agree to it. If you are coerced, comply as much as you must to protect yourself, just don't support it. Noone can free you but yourself. (crag, on Debian Planet) Arne Wichmann (a...@linux.de)
