The two issues are directly related. The reason my 's'ave doesn't work
is that for some crazy reason mutt interprets my SGI keyboard's
"enter/return/big-button-to-the-right-of-doublequotes" key as <enter>, not
<Return> - at least in most cases.
To illustrate, the first time I started mutt, when in index view I could
not use my "enter" button to look at messages. I had to create the
following binding to get it to work:
bind index <enter> display-message
I had to bind <enter> in all the menu modes to get things to work ...
Unfortunately, "editor" mode doesn't allow rebinding of the "finished
editing" function. Currently, when prompted for a filename, I hit "enter"
and the prompt disappears, returning me back to index mode with the
"saved" message undeleted and selected. While all this time I thought mutt
was saving my message and not deleting it (my first postings), actually
the save is being aborted. I've actually lost forever quite a few emails
because of this ..
I'm not sure why my "enter" works for the To:, Subject, prompts, etc., but
it does.
I'm starting to think about things like X11 keysym's, which is crazy!
I know this seems like such a _basic_ issue it's pathetic, but I can't
figure it out and am looking for help.
Thanks,
Steve
