No, this is just notational, for if you would use URLs as you are
used to from Alpine, *i think*, as never used it for real.  (It is
on the list of things to implement for v14.10, being able to put
anything in URLs.  I did not forget about that.)

No it really seems i steered the MUA to a dead-end here, which is
all good for POP (still not works though enabled) and IMAP, but
for SMTP we really have an unsolvable problem, the way we do it.
I have not looked, i think other MUAs just take the from=,
everything else seems non-automatable; I in turn will hack in
something that looks for U@H, and if H is the same H as we go for
aka have @H@H, we strip one of them.  Should be sufficient.
I will patch this back to [master], but, since it is broken since
when, you say 2014?, painful.  No new release.  (And if, no
backports on Ubuntu anyhow.  No easy help, code change needed.)

No -- that requires vertical movement (and line management) as
such.  Very far down the list.  But on the devel branch there is
a new line-editor-config= variable, i have

  set line-editor-config=quote-rndtrip,srch-case,srch-pos0,srch-regex

And that srch-pos0 will move the cursor to the beginning of the
line when the line does not fit on the screen when moving around
the history, for example i have

  bind base :kcuu1 mle-hist-bwd
  bind base :kcud1 mle-hist-fwd

and now when i cursor-up/down and a history entry does not fit on
the screen i can see the first couple of words rather than the
last, which i deemed to be a tremendous improvement, having some
long history entries with equal "tail".  (srch-pos0 is possibly
the wrong name as it works for the mentioned, though.)
As this will be of at least a little help for you, you could
already "set line-editor-config=srch-pos0" as of today, we will
pick you up many years from now :-)  (No worries, it complains:
"s-nail: *line-editor-config*: unsupported keyword: bla".)

Ciao!
