I have mutt do that for me pre-edit.

I use "q" for that (mapped to "ZZ"). Just like mutt itself; surely 
anything else is disloyal?

I used to have ^W mapped to ':w^M'. Until I started using vim's nice 
"window" stuff to split my terminal up when editing, all of whose 
actions commence with ^W.

So now I just have q mapped to ZZ (quit, saving file if modified).
