Well, sometimes it is saved, sometimes not at all. It is an issue with 
more instances of mc running - when exiting, mc just writes its own 
updated history to the configuration file, overwriting the previous 
contents, which can contain another new entries written by another 
instance of mc. I think mc should just append the new entries instead of 
overwriting whole history. Another approach would be saving the commands 
immediately into the history file and the instances would check the 
history modification time and updating their own history when necessary 
(Alt-H, Alt-P, Alt-N etc). It would probably need some locking of the 
history file to avoid race conditions.

PS: Why there's not a Reply-to header set to the mailing list?
