It sounds *exactly* like what I would love to have :-)
%
% 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).
I figured it would have to be something like this...
%
% 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).
Cool beans...
%
% 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.
Woo hoo!
%
% 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.
I knew that there would be a catch :-)
%
% 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.
I'd be happy to take the copy, but won't pretend that I'm any sort of
C coder; I'd pretty much be hacking blindly in the dark.
Um, any other takers out there?

...and then rfi from Rich Roth said...
% You might check out my slang language extensions, which allows adding an
% arbitrty headers and doing whatever you want with them (display, sort, tag,
% etc). I built a whole project/tag manager with them.
%
% It's all at:
% http://www.katn.com/opensw/#mutt
I'll certainly check that out. Um, I don't even know how to see
whether I built against s-lang or ncurses, though, since it doesn't
tell me in `mutt -v`. Do I care either way?
%
% The last version I did was 0.95 (which I'll upgrade to 1.0 - whenever we get
% there-did I miss it ? <g>, I'm a week behind reading the list.)
That ought to be close enough for me...
