Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.18-4
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/mutt

I have a mailbox with almost half a million messages, and
it takes ages (~5 minutes) to open, even with header caching
enabled.

Occasionally, while waiting for it to open, I find that I don't
actually need it. Unfortunately, mutt doesn't care about ctrl-c then
(it doesn't even save it for later, while it does store up 'q' and
other such keys in the buffer) and there seems to be no other way to
cancel the opening. It would be nice if there were...
