you are but one person and mutt has been around > 20 years and defaults
modified to fit a majority.  perhaps you can make a compelling case to
change the default.  but if *you* want it different, you will have to
campaign for the change.

usually when one begins to use an application, they make an effort to set
the parameters to fit their style.  you apparently have not felt the
necessity to do so, past claiming the application was doing something you
did not set it to.  which you have found was incorrect.

did you look at the defaults before using mutt?
