Hey, sorry my late answer, I'm experimenting some new mutt configuration.

I'd suggest then to need a force when using -r or -q on a RW image. In case of a
normal image, just a warning but continue.

Ted, as Eric said, I've got some useless images in the past too and just a
warning won't really avoid the problem IMHO since, most of users don't even read
what's being printed :-) so, request a force when getting at least a raw or
QCOW2 image is very useful IMHO.

any comments?
