 It would be nice if mutt allowed a key to be bound to a function which
 aborted
 loading of a mailbox and left mutt in the (no mailbox open) state. Often
 when I
 skim mailboxes I make an off-by-one error and open some huge mailbox
 instead of
 the one I wanted. Waiting a few seconds is not intolerable, but having a
 key to
 abort the loading and get on with what I was trying to do would be a great
 feature.

 I'm not sure which context this binding should go under.
