Interestingly, my mutt shows a message saying "No news server defined!" for a few seconds and then returns me to the index.

I don't mean > it as a value judgment, just pointing out there is a difference. And yet - after I am finished reading an email, I am used to returning to the message index by pressing 'i'. This no longer works in (Gentoo's version of) mutt 1.9.4. Instead one must press 'x'. It's driving me crazy. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
