Hey, if this is any indication, I can't wait to see what you come up with
next! ;-)
Seriously, while a GUI-enabled mutt does sound interesting, it also
sounds like a radical change in the development track... and my fear is
that, once such a change were made, the text-only mutt would suffer if
not go away entirely. That would really suck for me, for instance, since
I do my mail over an ssh vt100 connection (and pround of it! :-)
Could what you suggest be accomplished or approximated through a few
macros here and there combined with multiple term windows running mutt
under a windowing system? Think about it... You could have each of
these windows open with your desired functions, and your 'm'ail and
'r'eply kes could be bound to macros which kick off a new window and a
new mutt doing the reply, leaving the existing "parent" mutt window there
to watch the mailbox while you compose.
Just a thought... Probably easier and faster to design up than (though,
certainly, not as simple or polished as) an integrated GUI-based mutt and,
hey, you could get to say it's all yours! :-)
