When I find an "orphaned response," autoseq seems to automatically invoke
the 'p' command; I get into my mailer.  Upon exit from the mailer, I do NOT
get any further prompt, just a redisplay of the (empty) base note, and 
kicked back into the mailer.  I know of no way to break the loop easily.
(I use egb's nmail, which has an editor escape, from which I can do a shell
escape and kill autoseq.)  The problem is made worse by the fact that
autoseq apparently ignores hup (signal 1), so even hanging up the phone
leaves autoseq around to harass the next person to log in.

This is a bad one...anybody got a fix?
