Comment (by wyardley):
Honestly, the fact that you're still arguing when everyone else in the
ticket has pointed out that there's a simple (and correct) workaround -
that is, don't bind dsusp to `^`Y within your shell. I don't know if
you're just embarrassed that you didn't realize the reason for this
behavior or what, but I think your continued remarks (and continuing to
re-open this ticket) make it clear that you are not planning on listening
to what anyone has to say on this issue.
Just because Mutt is more correct in accepting signals than other software
does not mean that the behavior is incorrect. Mutt is not mainstream
software; it's software mostly used by people who do care about things
like having their terminal behave as they expect.
Interestingly enough, I see this behavior in OS X, but primarily use Mutt
on a FreeBSD system. On FreeBSD, while stty -a still shows "dsusp = `^`Y",
the behavior is not the same. Installed via ports, but doesn't seem like
any of the patches change this behavior.
Have to say, I've been using Mutt on a number of systems for many years,
and have never found myself accidentally hitting `^`Y, and I've never seen
a single other complaint about this behavior on the mutt-users mailing
list.
