Describe the bug
Alot allowes me to :quit even though an external editor is still running.
Software Versions
Python version: 3.8
Alot version: 0.9.1-38-ga814a774
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
set editor_in_thread=True (and for me also editor_spawn=True, might depend on
your editor) in the config
compose an email
execute :quit while the editor is still running
you now have an open editor with a tmp file that is useless but might
contain a long mail you just composed. Alot/notmuch do not know about this
draft/work any longer and will not pick it up automatically then you
restart alot
Propsed solution
Ideally alot would not quit. In my opinion this does not even have to have
its own option but can be implemented unconditionally. I never would want to
lose this tmp buffer and would be happy with the "overhead" of being forced to
close the editor first and close the envelope buffer.
This would align with the UX of having the options set to false where the
editor hides the UI of alot so I can not quit accidentally.
