I've never heard of that one - are there other built-in programs in mutt
which can be invoked using :exec? I've found nothing on the web / man
page.

Same thing here. Ctrl-M should be something with Decimal value 14. Does
anybody know why Ctrl-M (Carriage Return) is the same as Ctrl-J (Line
Feed / Newline)? Perhaps it has something to do with portability between
Linux, Windows and Mac computers?

I've understood this and the in-depth explanation in your other mail, at
least I believe so. But mutt is able to use the Unicode character set for
displaying. So, input has to be sequences of 7-bit / 8-bit characters,
output can be the whole unicode character set?
