I believe that a window in the middle of the screen really looks out of place. Dynamically widening the status bar would be much more elegant and consistent with the mutt UI.
I strongly agree with this too. In hindsight, the emacs technique of growing the input line as necessary seems like the obvious way to go.
Please forgive me that I'm a poor vim user :), I have no idea what it looks and feels like to have this feature. Google doesn't help me much here.
There are two interesting things emacs does: first, if text on the entry line is longer than the screen width, it moves the entry line up and wraps to the line below.
Ah, that makes sense. I guess I got confused by "widening the status bar".
I guess that it would require quite some work to move from LINES-1 logic to a variable with proper redrawing on demand (though much of it can likely be done semi-automatic).
