This (very simple) +script helps to jump to this message, using e.g. this macro in .muttrc: + +macro generic ,j "push muttjump" "jump to original message" + +Don't forget to quit the new mutt instance (started by muttjump) after +the modifications. To make jumping faster (no keypress required), unset +$wait_key in your ~/.muttrc.
