Sorry for being sloppy, that's what I meant.

The mutt-user archive seems to be broken - if you display this message
and try to display the thread index, it does display an index but there
is no trace of this particular thread, which makes the ensuing
discussion difficult to follow..
So, I'm not sure I understand the solution & how it improves on:
→ :sh while composing in vim
→ start new instance of mutt
→ do what you have to do - e.g. copy parts of messages
→ 'q'+'Ctrl-D' to return to composing
