The "^H"s are backspace characters. I think mutt and less are the
only things that understand this convention. If you _s_t_i_l_l want to use
it, (and please don't go overboard! ;-) you have to get your editor to
insert backspaces into your message. I used a feature from Dave
Pearson's emacs post mode, which I've incorporated into Eric Kidd's
mutt mode, along with a couple of my own features that I'm working on
... slowly ...
