Usually using mutt's g command to reply to an email, which starts e.g.
emacs -nw /tmp/mutt-DHX98431-3796-19
to edit an email. And when I've finished editing, I use the Ctrl-X
Ctrl-C command to exit, and sometimes the Ctrl-X is registered but the
Ctrl-C is ignored. And sometimes it works. What the difference is,
I don't know. I've had it happen one more time, and still have the
window open.
Just now, I tried entering sleep 20 at the bash prompt in that window
and right thereafter Ctrl-C and the sleep wasn't interrupted.
Sorry I can't tell you what makes this happen or not happen.
