I notice the following problems in MUSH:

The "alternates" feature does not seem to work.  If I say ":alternates"
in curses mode it lists them from my .mushrc correctly, but when I reply
all it still sends a copy to me.

When using mushtool, when I press "done" it closes the window down OK,
but it moves the current message to the last preserved message, marking
it read.  I have to manually preserve it each time I open the window.

When replying, if I forget to press "send" (or miss it) and then press
"close", the reply window goes away and so does the reply button!  I
found that by getting a menu on any random message and selecting "reply"
I can get it back (although it won't reply) but there's no visible icon
or any other normal way to get it back.

Are these bugs fixed (I have 7.1.1) anywhere, or are there workarounds
better than manually deleting my name and manually preserving?

General gripe: in curses mode, the interface looks and feels very much
like rn, but many things that work in rn that could reasonably work in
mush don't.  In particular, when I'm paging through a long message and
have a "more" at the bottom, I would like to be able to issue commands
like "n" or "r" without having to "q" first.  I can do this in mushtool
but not in curses mode.

Sure would be nice if, in curses mode at the main message menu, j and k
would work at the bottom and top of the screen ala vi.  Currently I
have to z or Z- which is inconvenient (and inconsistent from vi.)

Thanks,
