Eh? It *was* implemented - that patch is the implementation.

If you're asking why it was never added to the mainstream mutt, the 
answer is a contentious one, but one which can be found by searching 
the mutt mailing list archives. It was deemed "froofy" by one of the 
main mutt developers 
(http://marc.info/?l=mutt-dev&m=112118911225394&w=2), and heavily 
broken by one of the others 
(http://marc.info/?l=mutt-dev&m=112133798519807&w=2).
