You have ideas!  Is it really necessary to show them twice.  The mutt
package contains one of the *best* documentations of any package I
have seen.

I suggest you look in the result of 'locate manual|grep mutt' or 'info
mutt' and 'info muttrc' or 'man mutt' and 'man muttrc' and pay
particular attention of 'send-hook'.

The rest of your ideas show a desire to improve mutt "in your eyes", but
I hope to not see impletemted.  In any rate, the conveyance of those
ideas in this venue with the intent to gain change is a wasted effort.

gud luk,
