mutt do not longer recognise aborted edits as unchanged messages
Last modified: 2005-10-03 07:49:57 UTC
After update my main workstation from SL 9.2 to 10.0 RC4, mutt does not longer act as before regard aborted edits. Under 9.2 if I leave the editor without saving, mutt discard the edited message as unchanged. After update it doesn't, so I have to press q to abort the message. On a new installed system (10.0 RC4) it works as before (under 9.2) even with the same copied .muttrc.
Seems I found the reason. It was my .signature file. For some reason I do not remember the file had no newline at the last line. Now I added a extra newline and now mutt works again. I think mutt should not depend on a newline for the changed/unchanged detection.
Changed/unchanged should do exactly what it means. A newline is a change.
I agree that changed/unchanged should do exactly what it means, but here is no newline changed. If the .signature ends without a newline it detects a changed file, but in the editor there is no newline inserted at the end in this case (the .signature is included).
Now I get what you mean.
Fixed in STABLE.
