The discussion of how to access in your editor mail in your
folders other than the one mutt gave you when it put you into the
editor seems to have died away, but before everyone forgets about
it, I want to say that for people who don't have a GUI, you can
still have windows/screens to cut and paste from.

Check out screen, from these links:

Sven Guckes      [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---    screen-3.9.9
SCREEN MailList  http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gnu-screen/ [010525]
SCREEN UserPage  http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/screen/user.html
SCREEN SetupFile http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/setup/screenrc

The other thing is, there is a vim script called
mailbrowser.vim, which is now on http://vim.sourceforge.net 

"[25-Jul-2001]  mailbrowser.vim : Browse Berkeley mbox format
mailbox files (1.1) Silenced some unwanted messages. Added flag
for "New" (unread) mail to the index. :SMail now works to always
split mail browser into new window - Mark Waggoner "

This opens up an index of an mbox folder in vim, and you can
browse in it and select from it. The email appears in another buffer. 

"This script allows you to browse (read) email from a standard
Berkeley mbox formatted mail file.  When you type :Mail or :Mail
<filename>, it will scan the file for headers, extract them, and
present you with a list of the mail items present in the file.
You can easily select mail items to view.  It does not (as yet)
allow you to send mail in any form, or to delete mail from the
mailbox. "

I just found it and am excited about it. However, it is for
vim-6.0, which is still alpha, and if you compile vim with
multibyte, a non-ASCII marker placed in the index breaks it, at
least in my case. But you can munge this.
