Yes. Sometimes quickly. Sometimes after more than 30 seconds or so. > Can you also suspend mutt (control-Z) from within the same session, > or only from outside? I have not tried suspending.

I use vim as both pager and composer, so maybe that means something. In fact, I have accidently left a partially composed mail open for many hours, and mutt is always functional once I close out the vim/compose aspect. > Is it at all possible that the freezes are related to software flow > control signals (normally control-S = stop; control-Q = start; but see > `stty`)? This seems unlikely since you said the problem started with > the installation of a NATting router, but it's sometimes worth asking. I wouldn't think so either. I guess I could dig into that a little more. This is the same system (hardware + software) that worked flawlessly until the new router. The router thing might be co-incidence and a red-herring, but that is when the problem started. Thanks. -- Hal Burgiss
