Sounds like a good idea. I wonder, though, whether it might be
useful to move the subwindow toward the bottom of the screen, to
basically grow out of the status bar / entry line. I'd suspect that
most long-time mutt users will have their focus down there when they
start dealing with any interaction that they expect will involve a
choice.
