I think that you can "set edit_hdrs" and use your favourite editor to do
what you want, when you want
with my favorite one (vim)
" ,stn = Start New Thread
map ,stn 1G/^In-Reply-To: <CR>dd1G/^Subject: /e+1<CR>C
indeed
2.4.1. Editing the message header
When editing the header of your outgoing message, there are a couple
of special features available.
...
When replying to messages, if you remove the In-Reply-To: field from
the header field, Mutt will not generate a References: field, which
allows you to create a new message thread.
