Re: Really stupid mutt question

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)?

Go to /home/you/.muttrc and check for this config option:

set postpone = ask-yes

If it is not there, then insert it. If it is there, then change it
to ask-yes.

Hi,

that should be the "recall" option, not "postpone". The latter is for
postponing more messages, the former for recalling them.

Now next time you compose (m) an email it will ask you if you want
to recall the postponed messages or just go directly to the new
message.

Or you might even set it to "no", which disables recalling postponed
messages from the 'm' (compose) function altogether. To manually
recall one, there's still the 'R' command.
