This is a regression from 1.5.18 where mutt would always notice that the
tunnel had dropped and close the mailbox.
I'm seeing in 1.5.19 that my tunnel can drop, i.e. pre-authenticated imapd
running over ssh, and mutt gets into a state where it allows navigation
through the index, and will allow me to view messages that are contained
in the message cache. `<quit>` doesn't work (completely ignored!) and
neither does `<change-folder>^` (same behavior).
The way to make mutt notice that the tunnel has dropped is to attempt to
view a message that's not in the message-cache. At that point it suddenly
reports "Mailbox closed" and then I'm able to `<change-folder>^` to re-
open the connection.
I'll try to get a debug trace of this.
