Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.11-5
Severity: wishlist
Scenario:
If a user sends some mail with blank subject (e.g., mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]),
mutt asks if the user wants to quit sending the mail.
The user answers no, and proceeds to type a long piece of email. After exiting
from
the editor, mutt asks *again* if the user wants to quit sending the mail. Worse
yet,
the default is "yes" (i.e., "don't send") even though the user had already
answered
"no" before and thought that he/she would not have to be bothered with the same
question again.
At this point,
1. It is very possible for the user to accidentally answer "yes" (e.g., by
accidentally
pressing the "Enter" key). Then the mail (which took a long time and a lot
of effort
to type) is lost forever, wasting the user's time and causing the user to
become
frustrated.
2. The user notices the question and re-answers "no". (But recall that the user
had
already made his/her intentions clear by answering "no" previously.)
Wishlist item:
The second question is both unnecessary and user-unfriendly. It can easily lead
to lost
mail and thus should not be there in the first place.
IMHO this is a serious usability problem.

Hey, no problem. :) I'll just close the bug. ($abort_nosubject was
what you wanted, yes?)
