Same here -- as well as a few others.

I'm not one of the developers, so I can't say with authority, but I'm
betting that such "feature patches" will never, or at least not soon, make
it into the standard distribution.  While mutt *does* do pretty darned
much everything, and well, and fast, and so on, there is a constant battle
against code bloat and creeping featurism.  Since such feature patches
are submitted and maintained by their authors, who may or may not be
"official developers", and since those authors provide support for them
separately, it keeps things simple for the core mutt distribution.


:-D
