The UI perspective could get a little hairy; especially with
mutt not purging messages from mboxes by default.  Or at least
I was missing prompts while testing this.

I noticed one more small bug w.r.t Status/Content-Length/Lines
header changes from mutt causing no-op changes to get missed
which I can fix quick; but I need to deal with a bug problem
of the insect variety today :<
