New 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.
>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).
