Well, not sure if this is Mutt specific, but terminal emulator specific. If you're on a tty, perhaps gpm is running? If you're on a pseudo terminal, just disable the mouse input in your terminal emulator (xterm, urxvt etc... see their corresponding manuals). > What is the correct way to cancel an operation?

To cancel a question or anything that had put you into the Mutt command input, just press CTRL+g. Not sure what you mean by the new mail operation, but you can back out from the composer by exiting your editor, and exiting from the 'compose' screen (answering no to "postpone this message", if you wish). On any screen, just use the question mark to invoke the online key bingind help to figure out how to exit. > I have a macro to move message to my archive folder: > macro index,pager S "<save-message>=archive<enter>" "move messages" > it works, but there are two small problems: > 1) It operates only on one (the current) message, not on all tagged > messages. There is a generic binding: ; tag-prefix apply next function to tagged messages Pressing ';' before 'S' would execute 'S' on every tagged message. btw, this works with any function, of course. > 2) it actually does not move the message immediately.

You must sync the mailbox to purge the messages that were being marked for deletion. You can append the <sync-mailbox> function to the macro (but then 'S' will of course purge any other messages marked for delete and all-in-all do everything that eg. '$' would have done). > thanks, > Martin No problem, hope this helps; enjoy Mutt! :) Daniel -- LÉVAI Dániel PGP key ID = 0x83B63A8F Key fingerprint = DBEC C66B A47A DFA2 792D 650C C69B BE4C 83B6 3A8F
