You could pipe it through a small script which calles formail.
--------snipp
#!/bin/sh
echo -n 'In how many days shall it expire?'
read days
# create full date
date=`date -v +${days}d '+%a, %d %b %Y %T +0100 (%Z)'`
# Add header to mail and send locally.
formail -I "Expires: $date" |mail.local $USER
--------snapp
and then call it from mutt (nopipe_decode) with '|set_expire\nd'
Which should call the script, and delete the old mail (it should be put
again in your mailbox via the mail.local)
Watch out, if you are not useing an BSD-type system, your mail.local
could have a different name.
beware, this is untested :-)

macro index V '|less\n'
macro pager V '|less\n'
requires you to have pipe_decode turned off all the time.
If you want it turned on all the time you coud do something like:
macro index V ':set nopipedecode\n|less\n:set pipe_decode\n'
macro pager V ':set nopipedecode\n|less\n:set pipe_decode\n'
