- Here is Syd's answer to my question
- "Is there a way to back out from the (y/n) question of the quit command ?"

- [Syd]
- Its not possible to do this in 2.x, for internal reasons. Most of which
- relate to the fact that Elm doesn't know where whats on the screen to recover.
- (Plus by that time, its in the 'close mailbox routine anyway'.)
-
- things like this are going to have to wait for the 3.x rewrite.
