I'm not sure we're disagreeing here, except for the conceptual separation of the space-stuffing step.
I agree that it's a separate step, or layer. I just think it might better be done within the editor -- or special-purpose program, or script that runs two programs -- rather than be done later by Mutt itself. That is, Mutt could farm out the whole job, rather than have the external program do half and Mutt do half.
I would guess that it's split just because it was made for vim, and vim can't do the space-stuffing. I don't know the history, though.
