| what you want, when you want

I already have edit_hdrs set I just wanted to do it in some
more automated way.

| with my favorite one (vim)
|     
|     " ,stn = Start New Thread
|     map ,stn 1G/^In-Reply-To: <CR>dd1G/^Subject: /e+1<CR>C
| 
| indeed

I'm also using vim :) so, thanks, that did it!

|   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.

Thanks!
