Has there ever been any discussion regarding this issue? Other programs, such as the vim editor, can deal with the terminal window being resized while the program is running, but mutt is unforgiving. Mutt recognizes the terminal size when started, but if you stretch or shorten the terminal height or width during a running session, then the display can get totally screwed up. Couldn't mutt be made to respond to these size changes the same way vim does? It would make the program much more flexible.
