Just to be clear, are you saying your To/Cc/Bcc wrap in the compose menu?
I have the same behaviour with xterm-235 or syscons (the default
FreeBSD virtual terminal).
I understand how wrapping is controlled in the pager and the
editor modes, basically the editor settings (vi in my case) and
mutt settings "wrap", "smart_wrap" and "markers".
However, what is controlling wrapping in the index and the compose modes,
perhaps some library on which mutt depends?
Is it possible to wrap in the index mode at all?
It seems to me that the terminal control is similar in the
index and the compose modes.
many thanks
