> and tag-delete them.
> Disadvantages: (a) requires several keystrokes,
> (b) same problem as method 3.

> 3. Add a macro definition to .muttrc:
> macro index <F10> "GT.\r;bdirk\ry;d$"
> Now when I press F10, mutt retrieves my messages, tags them all,
> tag-bounces them to myself, deletes the originals and cleans
> up my inbox.
> Disadvantages:
> (a) inbox must be clean before I start,
> (b) mail filter must not allow anything except retrieved mail to
> reach inbox, else I may delete messages that arrived directly
> to me during the retrieve,
> (c) messages show up in =procmail-log as being from myself, not the
> original sender.
