That is desirable, so that mutt can act like any other well behaved
terminal program[].
that's debatable. TUI programs definitely *aren't* like "any other"
terminal program, and the two others that i use most of the time - mc
and vim - take full control of the tty. in fact, changing the settings
outside mutt may lead to bad results, as it affects non-TUI programs
spawned by mutt, too.
the argument about tty intricacies also stands - it's just bad UX to
have to deal with an additional layer of configuration to make seemingly
obvious settings work.
also, apparently the slang backend behaves differently anyway?
