Closing out bugs on older, unsupported, releases. Please reopen if problem persists on current releases. This is probably an issue with terminfo/terminal settings in general, and not specific to mutt. Just tested on Fedora Core 3 - it still has this bug. I've also tested some console aplications (line editing in bash, joe, less, links, vi) and none had this bug - the character under the cursor is deleted - so it doesn't look like a general terminfo/terminal issue. Reopening and changing product to Fedora Core. I cannot change version to 3 - i'll try later. Aha, duh.
In mutt-<version>/keymap.c:
km_bindkey ("<delete>", MENU_EDITOR, OP_EDITOR_BACKSPACE);
In fact, there is no operation in the line editor for delete,
so you can't even simply change the keybinding.
So, this is something that would have to be fixed upstream; you
could bring it up on mutt-dev. (The upstream mutt bugtracker
is down.)
Oops, I was wrong.
If you change that line to:
km_bindkey ("<delete>", MENU_EDITOR, OP_EDITOR_DELETE_CHAR);
you'll get the behavior you want. But I really am disinclined to
change upstream behavior. I'll bring it up on the list.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529 Description of problem: Delete key is removing character before cursor instead of under it when in prompt - it is working like backspace key. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutt-1.4.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press 'm' to start new message 2. I "To:" prompt write "bu" 3. Press left arrow key so "b" is before cursor and "u" is under it 4. Press delete Actual Results: "b" deleted Expected Results: "u" deleted Additional info: I've testes this in both xterm (TERM=xterm) and console (TERM=linux). I've tested this with locale set to "en_US". This can be worked around by using Ctrl-D instead of Delete
