That's how mailbox name completion works too. It's what I expect and use.

In comparison, bash takes two additional tabs and a 'y' to bring up a
long list after one tab has partially completed "mail/cnc":


Mutt's completion is custom internal C code. Bash uses the readline 
library, which can be tuned with the readline config file - the 
completion behaviour you see in bash isn't your only choice. Zsh, like 
mutt, is custom and has a bunch of shell options to tune its behaviour.


None of this helps Jason though :-)
