The 'j' and 'k' keys are bound to the <next-undeleted> and
<previous-undeleted> functions, respectively. You can get the
behavior you want by using the 'J' and 'K' keys instead (note that
these are upper-case letters) which are bound to the <next-entry>
and <previous-entry> functions.
You can find out about these from the index help screen, accessed by
typing '?' when in the index menu. These are also listed in the
mutt manual in section 6.4, Functions.
If you want to change the behavior of the 'j', 'k' and arrow keys,
you can bind them to the <next-entry> and <previous-entry> functions
using the 'bind' command, e.g.,
bind index j next-entry
bind index k previous-entry
