I have the following in muttrc so that hitting 'Enter' (the CR key) on

This works as intended on the old system but not on the new system, it
would seem that mutt sees the 'Enter' key as CR (0x0d) on the new
system whereas on the old system it sees it as LF (0x0a).
Can anyone explain why this is and, more to the point, tell me how to
From the documentation:
| 6.2. Enter versus Return
|
| Prior to version 2.2, Mutt used a default ncurses mode (“nl()”). This
| mode maps keyboard input of either <Enter> or <Return> to the same
| value, which Mutt interpreted as <Return> internally.
|
| However, starting in version 2.2, this mode is turned off, allowing
| <Return> and <Enter> to be mapped separately, if desired. The default
| keyboard mappings set both, but you can override this or create new
| bindings with one or the other (or both).
|
| Note that in terminal application, such as Mutt, <Enter> is the same as
| “\n” and ^J; while <Return> is the same as “\r” and ^M.
Kudos to the document writers! It is nice to see readable
and complete documentation.
fix it?
bind compose \r send-message # rather than 'y'
