Comment(by Derek Martin):
{{{
This would seem to be not at all a Mutt bug, so much as false
expectation on the user's part. The sequence described may well
change the cursor on your terminal, but all you are doing is echoing
terminal control characters to your terminal, which usually effects
only a temporary change. You can similarly change the color of the
text on your terminal, e.g.:
echo -e "\e[36;01m"
...which will change the text color to cyan on most common
(vt-101-like) color terminals. However any program which subsequently
uses color (e.g. gnu ls with --color) will restore the color to the
default color when it is finished, just as mutt restores your cursor
to the default cursor when it's done. Your change is temporary; it
seems to me that what you need to do is find a way to change the
default cursor.
