Sorry to ask this, but I don't know whether this was a feature of mutt. The words "do" and "don't" of your message showed in bright white and bright green, and when I make this reply they show with some H's, underscores, and repeated characters... dHdoHo and _Hd_Ho_He_Hs_Hn_H'_Ht (the H's show in bright white too). How did you do that?
The "^H"s are backspace characters. I think mutt and less are the only things that understand this convention. If you still 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 ...
You can also use text/enriched messages instead of text/plain. To each their own. With text/enriched, at least, most modern mailers have a chance of handling it.
