Well, I was testing that feature while replying, and somehow ended up sending
the message before I was really done.

Note to self: don't play with key bindings while using the software for real
work.

It seems you cannot use ALT in the bindings.  Do you know of a way to enable
that?

It would be interesting to see if things I wrote for mutt will work with
sylpheed.  As long as it works on stdin/stdout, they should.

That's one thing I've always hated about most other MUAs and working in
Windows in general: the huge gaping functionality hole that UNIX gives you by
default.

Writing code on UNIX that doesn't let you use external programs is a sin.
