I have a patch that I absolutely could not do without that may be of
interest to you.
Originally by Sean Ahern, I refer to it as the "flag_text" patch. It
allows *you* to add an arbitrary string to any message, which gets
stored in an X-header line (so it doesn't work with mh-style mailboxes,
or probably other similar style boxes).
It allows you to have an index something like:
_____[this is the added field, set at 4 chars in my .muttrc]

where the width of the "text_flag" is user definable (with an appropriate
pair of macros, the display can be toggled between showing and not showing
that field, if one needs to narrow the display, so that more of the subject
field is visible, etc).
To Sean's original patch, I added the capability to sort based on the flag
text field, as well as search/limit/etc on it, as well as a few other bells
and whistles.
But ...
... I've been lazy WRT mutt development over the past ~year. The most
recent mutt that I updated all my patches for is 0.88.14i, so I suppose
it will take some work to make it work with the current revision levels.
If you (or anyone else) is interested in integrating it into the current
rev, I'll be more than happy to email you a copy of the patch, as is.
If not ... well, one of these days, I really *do* intend to upgrade to
the newest level of mutt, but I dunno when ... I have about 10-15 patches
that I have to futz with, so it won't be RSN ... :-) ...!
Then there is the matter of coming up with a scheme to make it work with
mh/etc mailboxes ...
