Hi,

when mutt prompts for a yes/no response, e.g., when you try to save a
message to a folder that does not exit, it displays a yes/no prompt,
e.g.,

Create /home/siegert/Mail/xyz? ([yes]/no):

If you then answer "no", you get the mystifying response:

Sort (d)ate/(f)rm/(r)ecv/(s)ubj/t(o)/(t)hread/(u)nsort/si(z)e/s(c)ore?:

The reason is that mutt (version 1.4) is lying to you. It actually only
expects a resonse y or n, not yes or no, thus when you type "no" the o is
actually interpreted as a new command.

Is there a way to tell mutt to display the correct prompt (y/n), e.g.,

Create /home/siegert/Mail/xyz? ([y]/n):

other than editing the source code?

Thanks for any suggestions and help.

Cheers,
Martin
