As of mutt-1.5.10-r1, the slang use flag is ignored and ncurses is used instead. After checking out bugs #96603 #102558 #57416 (mentioned in the ChangeLog as the reasoning behind the no-slang decision) I got some idea as to why -- ncurses provides more features, slang was only supposed to be a minimalist replacement for ncurses, etc. However, I am used to the control-s shortcut to send spam to a folder, which spamassassin learns from. ^S macro s=spam-learn\r This magic key sequence works fine with my slang-linked mutt, but it does not with a ncurses-linked mutt. I am aware what Control-S is supposed to do historically. I did some googling around and found out that people were having similar problems with emacs where ^s is used for searching. Unfortunately, all the advice they got was "use a different shortcut mapping". Well, I *will* do that, eventually, but is there no way to get Control-S working with ncurses? I don't care about the historical reasons for ^s, and I did have it working until recently. I feel cheated by the switch to ncurses in this respect. -- (* Georgi Georgiev (* Q: What do Winnie the Pooh and John the (* *) chutz@gg3.net *) Baptist have in common?
