Alas, I'm not. The day mutt is rewritten in pascal or perl I can
start working on it, though :)
However, I think that the first, simpler suggestion would be relatively easy
to implement. It just needs an additional .rc setting, an if clause somewhere
in the code, and a key binding for 'mark-read'.

That's weird: you're saying Linux can't do something DOS can? :) Anyway, I'm
running mutt in the console (since I hate and despise X for several reasons,
all deeply personal; perhaps in time I'll get over it). Are you saying that
the inability to recognize Ctrl-arrow is only specific to the xterm, or to
all terminals, inclusing the 'linux' console?

At first there was nothing. Then God said 'Let there be light!' Then
there was still nothing. But you could see it.
