From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) Description of problem: We have patched mailx to mailx-8.1.1-16, when you are in the middle of composing a message and you hit ctrl-c to abort the message you get the following: (Interrupt -- one more to kill letter) and then you hit ctrl-c again and nothing happens. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a mail with % mail <email address> 2. Give a subject line 3. Type some text 4. Hit ctrl-c to abort the message and you see the following: (Interrupt -- one more to kill letter) You hit another ctrl-c and nothing happens, it should abort your message but it does not. Actual Results: Nothing happened when I hit ctrl-c but it should have aborted my mail message with a message saying so. Expected Results: It should have aborted the message instead of doing nothing. Additional info: A work around is to use ~q to abort mail works instead, but I am not sure of the differences.
Simply building the RH72 version of mailx on RH62 seems to fix this for me. (I'm guessing that it was fixed in the signal handler cleanup hinted at in the changelog).
