I want to use Control-H to move the cursor to the left in Mutt's 
line editor, as I have it in all my other tools.  Since the default
action for ^H in the editor is backspace, I tried

bind editor \ch noop
bind editor \ch backward-char

to no avail---still get backspace, not backward-char.  Then I tried
simply

bind editor \ch noop

and I STILL get backspace.  I tried

bind editor \010 noop

and get the same backspace action from ^H.

I can disable the <backspace> key with

bind editor \177 noop

but while that's interesting, it doesn't clear the way for \ch to
bind to backward-char.

What's the secret to binding Control-H to the function I want?

TIA,

Jim
