If you put these two lines in your .muttrc file: set autoedit=yes set edit_headers=yes Then running mutt -i file email@xxxxxxxxxxx will take you to an edit buffer of your favorite editor where you can edit the message body and the headers in one big file. Be careful to preserve the blank line immediately after the headers. Once you finish editing the email and exit your editor, you should be at the mutt attachments page with the headers at the top and your cursor on the inline attachment description, such as: - I 1 /var/tmp/mutt-panix3-20196-19225-1671515 [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0.5K] At that point you can edit it again by hitting the e key, or send the email by hitting y. I have no idea how to show only unread messages in a mailbox. I usually either delete them or save each message into an appropriate mailbox if I want to save it. e.g. bookclub, slint, speakup, etc. Hit s after reading the email and mutt will ask you for the name of the mailbox in which to save the message.
