For xterm you can set the xterm_status variable, but it might not work
with other terminals. There is a hack, however, by setting the
status_format variable to a script that sets the title. For example, I'm
using a little script that I called 'mutt_status':
#!/bin/sh
# Demonstration of format string pipes. Sets the xterm title to the 2nd
argument,
# and returns the first unchanged.
#
# this sets the title
printf "\033]0;$2\007" > /dev/tty
echo "$1"
# end of script
Then I define:
set status_format="mutt_status \"$my_status\" \"$my_title\"|"
where the variables my_status and my_title are set to a format string,
see the documentation of status_format. I'm using this with mlterm, and
it also works with xterm.
