It's a problem of MUI that it handle the ESC key simliar to close window
which is not correct on the Amiga. Closing the window on Amiga is done by
pressing CTRL \. Look at the Workbench, you cannot close the windows via esc
but by this combination. On the other side in the Execute Command Request
you can press ESC which means to press Cancel.

I don't like to add unnecessary configuring options ;)

What about this (I think this is more Amiga UI Style)?

Pressing Close Gadget will close the window as fast as possible without any
requester (and it will store the mail). Pressing ESC or Cancel will popup a
requester if something had been changed.

I however don't know if it is possible to assign ESC another meaning in
MUI...

Ciao,
Sebastian
