This thread has been very interesting and helpful as I am also
configuring/improving Mutt.
I would like to ask a question since the search command has a
side-effect in the editor. Since the "-c ':$;?^$'" is a search command
for a blank line, it leaves blank lines highlighted as a result of the
search. How can I make this disappear automatically?
Thanks.
