Idea:

we may achieve the desired effect ( i.e. passing information to some 
external program) if it were possible to define (within mutt or from the
prompt) a mailbox which is actually a pipe, right? As in

set MAIL_TO_BE_DISCARDED = "| my_program.pl"

Maybe named pipes would do it, what do you think?
