I'm sure many people here have some nice archiving macros, which would
simplify the commands you need to give to mutt...
As an example, you could define
macro index some-keystroke \
"<collapse-all><tag-pattern>~r>14d<enter>|gzip >> /some/archive/file.gz \
"mark and archive old (2+ weeks) messages"
and push "some-keystroke".
Or, maybe cleaner, make a special muttrc file for archiving, put the push
commands in there, and use "mutt -F muttrc-archive" e.g....
