I agree that it's a separate step, or layer. I just think it might 
better be done within the editor -- or special-purpose program, or 
script that runs two programs -- rather than be done later by Mutt 
itself. That is, Mutt could farm out the whole job, rather than have 
the external program do half and Mutt do half.

I would guess that it's split just because it was made for vim, and vim 
can't do the space-stuffing. I don't know the history, though.
