Yes, put your editor/mutt in the background and view a mailbox with
another mutt running in _this_ xterm ... but seriously, there isn't
a way, execpt when you are in the compose menu, you can call the
attach-message function without actually attaching something.

Yes, but this requires major changes in the code structure. Don't expect
this anytime soon, unless you want to join mutt-dev and do the work.
