Awesome! There is a way to do it.

I'm using Mutt v1.13.2 on Ubuntu 20.04, so my version is a bit old. The
manual on my box does not have this section. There is a table showing
that ^G -> abort, but I missed it when searching for it earlier.

Well, fooey. I'll just have to get in the habit of using ^G. :)

Many thanks!
