Thanks for the useful feedback! I use gnome-terminal at the moment so I
don't have that option, however hunting around the web with my
Go(o)g(g)les on, I found this:

https://mutt-users.mutt.narkive.com/Qw2cfXkS/mutt-gnome-terminal-and-whitespace-fill-issue

So seems this has been discussed before and that it has to do with the
way Mutt sets the background colour, or something like that.

There was a suggestion in there to #undef HAVE_BKGDSET in config.h, but
that didn't make any difference for me. There was also a reference to
the ol' trac at dev.mutt.org, but that site isn't online anymore.

Anyway, will keep hunting - at least this thread confirms I'm not alone. :)
