That would be in your ~/.muttrc.
There used to be a slew of such mappings at wiki.mutt.org but right now
practically all the links appear to be broken.

You're not the only old-timer; though I don't like to think of myself
as old, I've been programming computers since 1983, and working with
them professionally since about 1994. There

Yuck. Why? :) FWIW, you can run startx (in cygwin) and use a proper

That's true, and I use it frequently, but it will only copy and
paste among windows running in that terminal. You can't, for
example, use it to copy from Firefox and paste into mutt.
But in this instance, you still have to use the mouse to select what you

Under Unix, the pasting is possible, but I know of no way
I'm running a rxvt-unicode terminal. In it (and in mutt), text
selected with the mouse (and pointer location) shows up in reverse
color. However, the only way I know how to mark, copy and paste is
with the use of the mouse. Much of my work is with emacs, where
