Pardon? You were `mailing or replying and got stuck in the editor and in the meantime the connection broke?
Yes, the connection breaks while he is in the editor. He isn't stuck, in the sense that the editor carries on normally. He saves back to /tmp/s-nail<whatever>, leaves the editor, and only then gets the imap error message and finds that his work in the editor has been lost.
The network thing uses alarm(2) to drive this mechanism ... At least until v15, when there will be a non-blocking loop with select(2) or poll(3). If i ever get there. Then this is a detached loop that runs like a daemon would.
Ok, I need to read some man pages to follow that. Stephen Isard
