"Back then" I had my own patches to do that.

For me it was the opposite: the original patch was simple, but with
that change it broke and I never got it to work properly again (it
"works" ok until something changes the layout and then the empty
lines are gone so I exit mutt and start it again).

Is your patch available somewhere? Maybe it works better for me
than the hack I have.
