Interesting, thanks!

So if I use that approach for searching for an empty line, I
should be able to first skip the email's header and then continue
jumping down paragraph by paragraph using the same key?

I could probably use some key located next to the Enter key on my
keyboard for jumping down to the next empty line. And I might use
the same key with Shift for jumping (up or down) to the beginning
of the body, by prepending "<top>" to the macro...

A possible drawback for me is that using "<search>" changes the
youngest entry in the list of search terms that have been used;
but I'd probably get used to it.

But how do I search (in the pager) for an empty line? I can search
for characters at the beginning of a line (using ^foo when entered
at the search prompt and \^foo when interactively defining the
macro after pressing ":") or at the end of a line ($) -- but a
search for ^$ appears to match on every line, whether the line is
empty or not. I'm using Mutt from current Debian stable, 1.10.1.

Cheers, Marcus
