mutt used inside emacspeak

[Jude DaShiell]

I got email from someone who is doing this.  He has only one problem, the
q key doesn't work inside mutt in emacspeak.  I wrote him and told him
he'd have to find a free key and make a macro for it to run the quit
function.

Mutt inside emacs

[David J. J. Ring, Jr.]

Hello,

I am really happy except for one little thing.

I found out how to get mutt working inside emacs / emacspeak.

The only problem is that I cannot press q to quit, I have to quit emacs instead 
by using Control C Control X (emacs C-c C-x)

I'll go to the emacspeak list or emacs list but I thought I'd ask here first.

I'll paste my .emacs file below if anyone is interested in this.

If I wasted your time, I beg forgiveness, I am just so happy that I have mutt 
talking to me inside emacs!

But does anyone know how I can exit gracefully?

I run emacs and press Shift-F2 and mutt runs!

Regards,
David

re: mutt inside of emacspeak

[Jude DaShiell]

This may not be the neatest way to smash a mouse, but inside of mutt I
suggested typing:
:exec quit , works here.  The q key inside emacspeak has other
functions.
