[Pkg-mutt-maintainers] Bug#834500: “i” key shortcut changed meaning, to a nonsensical one

Package: mutt
Version: 1.6.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I upgraded mutt today, and when I press “i” to go out from a message,
it suddenly started beeping and saying

  No news server defined!

It turns out someone has remapped “i” in the message view to to
“change-newsgroup”. This doesn't make sense -- I'm not in a news server
(I don't even have one defined; NNTP is pretty much dead these days),
and even if I did, changing newsgroup _while reading a message_ sounds
like an uncommon operation. It certainly isn't so common that it should
take over a super-important shortcut backed by 10+ years of muscle
memory. In particular, capital I seems to be available; why not use
that instead?
