I think it is short-sighted to not want to save these headers. You
might need them some day, to prove what time or date a message was
received by you. But anyway, it's your mail folder...
There is s save-decode command, but I don't know if weeding headers is
part of the decode process.

There should have been "mime.types" file that was installed with Mutt.
It gives the MIME type associated with various common file extensions,
such as *.gif, *.jpg, etc.
If Mutt can't find this file, it won't make a very good guess about the
contents of the file.

Mutt uses the tag-prefix command (";" by default) to cause the following
command to operate on the tagged messages. So, tag them with a pattern,
then do a "tag-save", which is performed by pressing the tag-prefix key
(";"), then the save key ("s").

No.

What's a .PST file?

Don't think so.

No. But, you can write a script to convert one to the other, and run
your script whenever you change the master file.
By the way, Mutt can be used in shell scripts, just like mailx. Try it!

This doesn't make sense. If someone bounces a message to you, it gets
forwarded through your local MTA, and gets delivered by the system
software. If the system MTA is putting incorrect format messages into
your mail folder, then that's where the problem needs to be fixed.

Use the toggle-readonly command ("%" by default) to change the status of
the folder to read-only. Then you can change to another folder, and
your changes will be discarded for the current folder.

This is the fault of your curses library; you need to find a way to fix
it there; Mutt has no control over it.
