Well... yes and no. To do it with the q key, yes. At the moment, the
<quit> command (the method of quitting mutt that can be bound to any
arbitrary key) is only available in the index environment (if you want
it in other environments, like the browser, you'll need to submit a
wishlist bug to bugs.mutt.org).
On the other hand, you may be able to short-circuit things temporarily
by using keys other than q. Specifically, Control-C and Control-\
(control-C quits and asks you if you really want to first, control-\
terminates immediately).
On yet a third hand, you COULD try doing something *really* funky:
using the stty tool to remap q to be equivalent to control-c. You can
do that like this:
stty intr q
Beware, though, by doing that you're mucking with your terminal rather
than just mutt, so you need to undo that (by doing stty intr ^C) every
time you don't want it anymore (i.e. after mutt exits, and before you
invoke your $EDITOR to compose new messages) and redo it every time
you do want it again (i.e. before mutt starts and after your $EDITOR
exits). You'll probably need to create scripts for running both mutt
and your $EDITOR so that stty gets abused properly.
