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).
