I'm running a rxvt-unicode terminal. In it (and in mutt), text selected with the mouse (and pointer location) shows up in reverse color. However, the only way I know how to mark, copy and paste is with the use of the mouse. Much of my work is with emacs, where selecting text, copying and pasting from the keyboard is no problem.
My addresses are not in a database, although a simple little one would make sense (a lot of categories for groups of addresses). I think I'll try to identify a simple database that I can run in console/emacs, but then the issue remains the same (I do run bbdb in emacs, but have never tried to develop its use for multiple address books). But the answer would seem to be the screen utility. I was not aware of it, and thank you for pointing it out. By spawning a terminal with it, I gain access to mark, copy and paste, and so this should work in any terminal application, including mutt. I've not tried it yet, but it sounds like it will work. Thanks. Haines Brown
