But the failure mode of the current behavior is superior: With the old way, you look in Fcc and see the message was sent, so you don't send it again (unless you're unusually paranoid, maybe). With the current way, you see there's no message in Fcc, and you send it again. It's better to receive the same e-mail twice, than to never receive it at all, if it contains important content. And by the way, changes like this one don't happen in a vaccuum. The change was discussed on mutt-dev at some length when it happened, and it was eventually agreed that the new behavior is the right one. -- Derek D.
