Hi DM,

I seem to remember reading somewhere (or discussing it on IRC?) that when a user
 presses Q at a prompt, Synchronet interprets Q in a certain way - is that corre
ct?

A user brought up an issue while using DDMsgReader, which I'm able to reproduce 
- After responding to a personal email and saving it, Synchronet says "E-mail se
nt to <user>.", then pauses for a key, showing "[Hit a key]", and if they press 
Q at that point, I'm returned to DDMsgReader showing the original message (as ex
pected), but the header at the top of the screen doesn't get re-drawn.  I'm goin
g to investigate further, but I was just curious if Synchronet interprets a "Q" 
keypress a certain way (when pressed at a pause prompt or any other prompt)?
