Well, I switched to vi (vim, actually) as the . For page a vi junkie,
this is really much better. (And, for a person who doesn't really
understand how to use mutt right.)
I though I would pass along some helpful points in case anyone else
wants to do this.
To start vi, I use the following set pager command in Muttrc:
set pager="vi -c /^$/ -c /"
This moves the cursor to the start of the body of the email. Thus,
you skip all the header stuff. I won't embarrass myself by telling how long
it took me to figure this out.
Also,
set prompt_after=no
is handy.
To make it easier to read the mail, these three items in .vimrc help.
map Z :q!
  <--fast quit without saving anything.
map z z
   <--- fast shift email to top of screen. First command given
after email comes up in vi.  I wish I could get this to happen automatically.
map g !}fmt
  <---wrap those long lines around.
If there are any vi newbies who want to try this, remember that to enter
^M you need to type, while in the insert mode:
control-v [enter]
