I have always considered the 'untag-on-save' feature to be a bug.  It is
an inconsistency in the way Mutt handles tagged messages, because no
other operation causes the tags to be removed after performing the
operation.  That means that, if I do tag-save a bunch of messages,
there's no way for me to un-delete only those messages that I tagged,
because the tags are removed for me.

But I digress.  :)

And also too lazy to install the development Mutt 1.1?  It already has
the feature that you want!  :)

I have been using the devel-versions of Mutt for over a year now, and I
find them to be extremely stable and useful.  Even moreso now, because
the developers are targeting a final release, so things are stabilizing
even more.

Yes, Mutt wants to lock '/dev/null' and cannot do so.  I don't know
whether to call that a bug or af eature.  :)
