asking for a solution to this as complaining that it's the default - why
unecessarily annoy the user by default?

That's the thing - it doesn't ask. It just plain ignores it -(

Ugh - that's just messy. Surely there has to be a better way. Any other
mailer i've ever used does the right thing here, why does mutt refuse
to. Gah.
