Really stupid mutt question

I've been banging my head for the past six hours trying to figure out
how to write a message in Mutt. (So I've given up and used GMail
instead.)

The problem: how do I write a message in Mutt *without* invoking the
postponed message menu first?

It seems that every time I press "m" for "compose a new mail message"
I get thrown to a list of over 1000 messages. It took me quite some
time to figure out that these are the draft messages saved by the six
other mail clients I use (sylpheed-claws, wanderlust, etc).

Now deleting 1000 messages, which may or may not contain important or
confidential data, is to me a less than optimal way to write a new
message. So I would like to know what is the magic key I need to press
to compose a *really* new message (i.e. to bypass or get rid of the
postponed message menu)?
