while you're writing the reply you're in an editor (vim, emacs,
teco :) not directly in mutt. in vi, "a" means "append" unless
you're already in insert mode, in which case it means "a". :)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #30 from Wayne Topa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Are you seeing GIBBERISH after viewing a binary file on your
console (or in an xterm/rxvt window)? Add this to your ~/.inputrc
file:
"\033[[A": "reset\C-M"
Now when you need a quick tty reset, just press F1 at the command
prompt. Try "info rluserman" for more options.
