That's a good thought. :')  I transitioned from Pine to Mutt, and I
think Pine asks 'do you really want to quit?' when Mutt asks 'would
you like to move read mail to ....?'  I've repeatidly (through force
of habit) hit 'y' when I didn't mean to.  I've turned that off in
.muttrc quite a while ago to prevent me from that accident.  Thanks,
though.
