I forgot to mention that.  A consequence of excessive multitasking, 
I think.  At least that's my excuse.

I have mutt configured so that when I initiate a message, must first 
asks for "To:", then "Cc:", then "Subject:", then enters the editor.  
I think that's a consequence of

   set askcc

in my muttrc.

If you are getting that message, your mutt is probably not asking 
"Cc:" and my macro is answering "Subject:" with Enter.  Unless you 
want to be asked "Cc:" all the time, you can just remove one of the 
^M in the macro.

HTH,
