% Somewhere between version 1.2.5i and 1.3.27i the behavior of SigInt

How?


% changed.  I am used to hitting ^C to get out of mutt (the main reason
% is that I have a script that looks through a number of folders and ^C
% has a different exit code than "q".  "q" takes me to the next mailbox
% and ^C exits the script completely).

While I think that's a kinda wonky approach :-) I agree that that
expectation seems fair.


% 
% Is this the intended behavior?

Yes, I should think that killing mutt with ctrl-c would cause a different
error code from exiting or quitting, but it is certainly plausible that
successfully answering 'y' to the prompt then implies the success of that
action and so maybe you need a SIGTERM to generate an errored exit.

It would help if you said exactly what behavior you have seen both under
1.2.5 and 1.3.27 :-)
