(Sorry for the late reply)

Yes, this is exactly what I want to do.

(global-set-key [?\C-q] "\C-x\C-s\C-x\C-c") works as expected when emacs
is launched as an instance. But I use it as a daemon. When emacs is
launched by "emacs --daemon" and called by emacsclient, your shortcut
will kill the buffer and I am not going back to mutt. I have to dig into
my tmp folder to retrieve the email I was trying to send.

The same behavior occures with the code I use. (see first email).

How can I prevent this?
