Thanks, I've missed it. I'll need to configure a keyboard shortcut for seting
and unseting of forward_weed.

The only result of setting TERM to xterm-color is that BACKSPACE key stopped to
work, and I have no key to rewind the message...

Yes, it works, but requires a lot of typing... additionally I'll need
two different configuration files - one for xterm, and another one for
console... Maybe I'll need to write a wrapper, something like this:
if [ $DISPLAY ]; then
mutt -F ~/.muttrcx
else
mutt
fi
