It's more general than mutt - if the terminal emulator doesn't know that's a single wrapped line, then it'll only select the first part. A few applications fool the emulator (or happen to work) by writing wrapped lines as a single chunk, but screen optimization in ncurses/slang doesn't take that into account. -- Thomas E.
