What a royal PITA! I'm not sure exactly to which part you refer (that's why I didn't trim), but yes, this is *not* an optimal solution and I don't think it can be done right without patching mutt itself. Unfortunately switching to a GUI client is a no go for me. I just worked a bit with claws-mail again (the only one that comes close to what I need), but I was much slower than with mutt. The solution that works best for me so far is to have a keybinding to start a new mutt with a slightly different config than the "main" mutt, optimized for copy-pasting stuff.
