Have you considered throwing screen into that mix? With (if memory
serves) the -r -D flags, it'll maintain exactly one mutt (or pine,
or Gnus, or whatever pleases you) process running at a time, and
destroy the old xterm when a new one is created. This is nice when
you've got a large virtual desktop and you want the read-mail window
to come to you rather than your going to it.

Or maybe this is what you're talking about?
