But screen can manage your apps even in console! ;) I get this nifty
little window list in my terminal bar (or as the last line of my
display when I'm in console). Bless those docwriters for putting that
incantation in the manpage.

One of the reasons why I tend to prefer X is, well, yes! More keysyms
to play with! I'm tempted to map Win_L to Hyper and Win_R to
Super... ;)

vi can restore, I think, but I don't know if mutt handles it nicely.

I usually only have one session running, and I invoke screen with screen -x -RR.
That allows me to have the same screen in multiple rxvts when I need it. =)

I regularly use multiuser screen over ssh. I share screens with this
guy in Romania just for the sheer heck of it. (Seriously!)
It's... well, it's an unusual experience. You should try it. It's tons
of fun. You almost feel like a collective mind or something.
