If the user is experiencing some sort of mail bomb (unintentional or not) it leaves them somewhat helpless, with their only recourse to be abandon all changes they've made and exit mutt (with 'x'). Likewise, for those of us like myself who must monitor e-mail as part of our job, who receive literally thousands of messages at the beginning of our shift, it sucks. If I'm working in a high-volume folder, and my boss says he needs me to look at some other mail in a different folder "right away" -- I either have to wait (which is going to piss someone off) or abandon whatever I did (which pisses me off). That sucks. -- Derek D. Martin http://www.pizzashack.org/ GPG Key ID: 0xDFBEAD02 -=-=-=-=- This message is posted from an invalid address. Replying to it will result in undeliverable mail.
