2/18 Sometimes, for some reason, I cannot abort (q) mail composition
in mutt, here on soda. What's the reason?
\_ What happens when you hit q -- do you get any error messages?
\_ nothing. It is just ignored. In fact it does not even say
\_ ignore the superior solution at your peril, muttboy! muahaha!
\_ use pine.
key not bound. To get out without sending the message I have
to type ctrl-C. And it does not happen every time but I haven't
figured out the exact trigger.
\_ mutt sucks. that's the reason. use (n)mh.
\_ works for me. ignore the mh guy. capslock key stuck?
\_ mail composition is done in your editor, not mutt.
\_ sometimes the escape key in vi stops working for me
on soda, i have no idea why. and this is just on soda.
\_ Ok, perhaps I haven't made myself clear. There is some point
\_ mh is the only mail handling method that won't cause you
endless mail client UI grief since it doesn't have a UI.
\_ ever wonder why bill gates is the richest man in the world?
it's because he doesn't have a big stick up his ass like
you and always strives to make software usable for the
average person. No software is going to be popular if
it doesn't have a UI.
\_ I thought he was rich because his company is scummy and
stole every major technology they possess and abused
the hell out of their monopoly? Damn, I better go buy
Apply stock, since they have a better UI. I'm going to
be rich following your sage advice! Rich! Rich! RICH!
in mutt, just before you send out a mail, where you have the
the choice to abort (q), to send (y), to edit (e). At least

\_ Are you single? Are you using a 30 year old OS, too?
\_ yes, but this has nothing to do with it.
\_ Can I buy you a drink, sailor?
\_ Runs fast over modem.
\_ 18 years old means the mail client is legal. Can it have
a relationship with an old 30+ year old OS? Send me pix.
Make sure setenv TERM is correct to fix the q -- but you
know when she says q, she really means yes.
\_ How does your software work without a UI? Does it read your
mind? Have a mind of its own?
\_ Well. No. Better than that.
\_ 18 year old mail clients with no UI are so cool! I am
also very attractive.
\_ all right nerds, I'm coming for you, time to die.
\_ Note to op: when nerds can't help you, they get pedantic
and insult you. try google.
\_ He was given the right answer. What's your malfunction?
quite a while. But the stranges thing is that sometimes it does
work. Just now I reproduced both working and nonworking results. |
