:Hello,

elm does something like this to me when I use ^Z to suspend vi
temporarily.  Luckily, the edited message can be retrieved when I
reenter reply or forward mode.  It would be better if elm would just
send them message the first time, but I do not know what the code looks
like.

:The screen then doesn`t refresh and a ctrl-l must be used. (Our escape key
:which is supposed to produce a ctrl-c s fine)
:	We have vt220`s (running vt100 usually) on a pyramid 9820 (aargh!).
:Everything else accepts ctrl-c ok.
