I don't have imap, and I don't like/use maildir. I just want to know
whether I can make mutt iterate over the messages in a folder and take
actions on each one _individually_ when I either: a) exit the folder b)
call sync-mailbox c) call some user-specified macro.

And yes, I know I can move mail to different folders with procmail.  I
use it currently to split duplicates and detected spam into different
folders. 

I get all new mail delivered to ~/Mail/inbox. I then read it, and,
depending on how interresting it is, I hit 's' to save it to a folder
(I have a large collection of save-hook's to decide where mail are
saved). I also have a macro that saves a whole thread to the same
folder, which saves me a few keystrokes. I just want to know if anybody
know of a way to automate this? I could probably set up a macro that
calls formail -s on the mailbox and pipe the output into procmail -m
with an appropriate rc-file, but I want to know if I can do it with
mutt. It appears to be a cleaner way, if at all it can be done.
