I'm typing a letter in Mail mode.  I try to do C-x C-n to set a goal
column.  Now I'm getting beeps and my command line says `
   "Please type y, n, or space"
Why?  What are the consequences?  I type space. It seemed safest.  The
letter disappears.

This happened in Epoch, although it would probably be the same in Emacs.
