Is that by chance referring to when you hit "m" for new mail and it
prompts you for a "To:", "Subject:", etc and not at the point when
it's waiting for you to hit "y" to send it ?? When you're typing
your message, you can see the To, From, Subject, etc information,
but you're actually looking at your editor, vim, for example, and
not mutt at that point.
