Bob Bell proclaimed on mutt-users that:

However, mailbox flags get modified when you do this - especially with mbox
folders. A better thing to do is to use something like gvim or emacs as the
editor (both of which pop up in different terms from the mutt window, and
multiple sessions of which can be opened leaving your mutt xterm free)
Of course, on a console, this means some tedious shifting between alt-f1,
alt-f2 ... virtual consoles ;)
