Sorry, I did not find the line disable-keymenu

Basically, my problem is that it is already very chatty and I here a
lot of / and _ for a long time before I can do any thing.
Secondly, I once managed to get into the index using i (don't know how
it worked, but it did once ) I did as you instructed and indeed the
message opened.
I tryed to press i again but could not get the index back.
Lastly if I by mistake get into the reply mode and want to quit, I
don't find a way out.
Happy hacking.
