>Description:
This is from Debian Bug#342840; I can reproduce by setting 
pop_host="pops://user@server", pressing G, and eg. 'x' at the certificate 
prompt.

--------------------
I have been lazily using 'G' to retrieve mail from a POPS server.

I noticed a reaction after upgrading from mutt_1.5.9-2.  At the
"confirm server certificate prompt":  "WARNING: Server certificate has
expired", "(r)eject, accept (o)nce".

If the response is neither 'r' nor 'o', then there is a long delay,
with no beeps.  After the delay, pressing 'o' causes: "Key is not
bound."  Afterwards, 'r' and 'o' are accepted normally.

I checked the Debian and upstream changelogs, but couldn't see
anything relevant, going to back to 2005 May.
