Nothing much. :-) What you did was to allow the editor to start and
finish without changing the file's modification time, which Mutt
treats as an indication that you didn't actually write a message. I
find that this behavior is usually accurate for me, so I don't know
how to disable it, but for one *particular* message, all you need to
do is make some change to the message body such that emacs can save
the message -- typing a letter and then deleting the letter will do.
