Oh, that's going to be hard.  I've been using mutt as my only MUA for twenty
years...  I figure I've handled at least 7.5M incoming emails with it.

I did look at this, but I couldn't see a way to get the count of currently
tagged messages, so that I could reset quit/exit to "yes" only when the count
reached 0, and set it to "ask-no" when the count was >0.

And this, of course.

I've hacked additional features into mutt once or twice, though I never
followed if they made it into the mainline.  I might have a go at adding this.
I'm sure someone other than me runs into this issue.
