I'm running a built from source mutt 1.10.0 on a Mac.

Like Felix, all of my tests of your tests behave just like you except that 
<Return> does display the message for me.

Try commenting this line out of your config and retry. I don't have this 
explicitly in my settings, it comes from mutt's defaults for me.

Also try running "mutt -F /dev/null" to bypass all the configuration.

(I've tried putting that line in my muttrc and <Return> still displays a 
message from the index for me.)

Me too.

>(2) <Return> is listed as bound to display-message, when I hit ? to view the keybinds.

Does that line include the description "display a message" in the right hand 
column? Mine does, and if that is missing or different it may be a clue.

>(3) My <Return> key does function to do other things within mutt. When 
>I change folders or select an attachment, <Return> does function just fine. 
><Return> is bound to select-entry in maps other than index.

Very strange. Do you have another version of mutt to hand to run against the 
same setup for comparison?
