This shouldn't be hard to glue together without modifying mutt itself.
Make a little program, foo, that takes the message on stdin, passes
it through "formail -x subject", massages it into a procmail rule, and
appends it to some procmail rule file.  The "massage" step should include
escaping characters that have special meanings in procmail regexps, and
adding something like (Re: *)? at the beginning of the subject when
appropriate.  Shouldn't be more than a screenful of Perl.
