I'm really sorry to hear that.

I'm glad you had the backup.

Me, too.

This is fixed in commit:
https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/commit/9f06971bc0a1de06ef2db8d3d3f51baf0a2370dc

This will be included in the next release of NeoMutt.
The release was planned for today, but it's likely to be tomorrow.
