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.
