Mutt will likely be using curses in full on "gimme an addressable screen image". Vim and vi likely have a deeper knowledge; certainly vi used to do something sane even on terminals without a "delete-line" feature, so it was _not_ using just the naive virtual stuff. Anyway, it might be something mutt could address depending how its screen display stuff is written. I have never looked, let alone experimented with what might help here and what might not. -- Cameron Simpson <c...@zip.com.au>
