>Description:
if your tty gets a HUP while composing a mail (say, your inet conn breaks or x 
crashes or whatever), it is tedious to continue composing the mail. of course 
it works at all only if your editor has built-in crash recovery, but most 
reasonable ones have.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
when starting to compose a mail, create a state file with the name of the file 
passed to the editor (and all headers if edit_headers is unset). when sending, 
postponing or discarding the mail, delete the file. if mutt starts up and the 
file is still there, resume the mail composition (after a confirmation).
