Try the following: open up a terminal, execute the command 'xev' and then
hit shift-tab. That'll show you how the keys are actually known to X.
in my case (slackware linux 12.1, X 7.1), hitting just the tab key yields
'Tab', but hitting shift-tab tells me that in combination with shift, the
tab key is suddenly known as ISO_Left_Tab.
In Emacs, I couldn't bind S-Tab unless I used ISO_Left_Tab as keysym.
(Well, actually, I needed to use 'iso_lefttab'. So much for
standardisation... ;-)
Perhaps if you try <shift><iso_lefttab> or variations thereof in .muttrc
you may be able to bind shift-tab.
