This was perhaps the main reason why, now that I use (neo)mutt for mail but still Emacs as my editor, I wrote my own tiny but useful mode. Because mutt pre-fills the headers before calling the editor, a lot of the functionality in the stock Emacs composer is redundant anyway, and mine focuses on formatting the body, including quotes. -- Ian
