ctrl-g should get you out of the loop. A list of some of the other keyboard commands for editing input fields is at https://dev.mutt.org/doc/manual.html#editing In order to use s/mime with mutt, you need to set up your ~/.smime directory. The included smime_keys program can help with this. Also, you need to have the various smime configuration options set, e.g. $smime_certificates and $smime_keys. contrib/smime.rc is a good place to start. -- Kevin J.
