> No, the ideal solution has already been suggested: _you_ want ^Y not to
suspend, so issue "stty dsusp undef" in your .bashrc or equivalent.
I dare you to find one person with a US layout keyboard or similar who
*wants* Ctrl-Y to suspend mutt, and wants it so badly that he will not be
content with Ctrl-Z.
A solution that requires users to do something they shouldn't have to do
is not ideal. If Vim disappeared when Ctrl-Y is hit, and wouldn't even
let you remap that key elsewhere in vimrc, there would be (rightly) a
riot.
> It really is nothing to do wiuth mutt.
It's utterly baffling why people keep saying this. Are people really
confusing "it is not entirely mutt's fault" with "it is entirely not
mutt's fault"? It is at least partly mutt's fault, which is conclusively
proven by the existence of numerous other tools that don't suspend upon
Ctrl-Y during normal operation, including:
vim
nano
less
netstat
alpine
emacs
sudo
