Version: 1.0.1i
Menu: Compose
Command(s): f and c
When I have used the f command (to add an Fcc: value) or
the c command (to add a Cc: value) and when I use Cnt-C
to cancel before adding the Fcc: or Cc: value, mutt aborts
and returns to the unix shell prompt, but the session is
thereupon frozen and no longer responds to anything done
on the keyboard.

I am not really a mutt user. Our system socrates.berkeley.edu is
a multi-user multi-purpose system for use by UC Berkeley students,
faculty and staff. A user requested we install mutt, so I did so
the other day. While playing around with it in near total ignorance,
I found it really easy to completely freeze my login session by
using ^C to cancel out of adding an Fcc: or a Cc: value using the
f or c commands while composing a message. I know now the FAQ suggests
using ^G, but ^C was the obvious choice to me as a unix person. I
could imagine alot of people might get screwed up this way.
I didn't find any mention of this issue in Sven's list, but I may
have overlooked something. Thanks in advance for any help you
may have for me. --dk
