Woo hoo!

Well, let's dig in.

% way to do this. I guess I could set up a procmail recipe to put it in

Yes, it does; I'd think that poking at the From: header would be better.
In either case, though, I don't know how you'd display in the index from
the MessageID.

% The other problem I have is that I keep a message archive mirroring
% the layout of my folders. E.g, if there's a =foo & =bar, I also
% want an =Archive/foo & =Archive/bar that reflect the past contents
Yep.
% of those folders. Since I use procmail, the obvious solution (which
% I'm currently doing) is to send messages both to the folder itself
% and to the archive folder when sorting incoming mail. Unfortunately
Ick. So you want a copy of everything that ever came in rather than a
copy of things that you've read and otherwise processed?
% that (a) leads to an ugly procmailrc, (b) completely loses state info
% (read/unread/replied, etc) and (c) fails to account for messages that
It sure does...
% are mis-sorted by procmail which I then manualy put into the right
% folder.
Yeah, there are those times :-)
%
% mh, of course, has an rmmproc, which I redefined to move messages to the
% archive folder rather than deleting them. If possible, I'd like to do
% something similar in mutt, so that I can use all the delete stuff (by
% message, thread, subthread, etc) but instead of simply deleting the
% message it's moved to =Archive/<foldername>.
There are at least a couple of ways to handle this. You could set
move=yes and define the proper archive folder for each mailbox with an
mbox-hook (perhaps only one if there's an expando available). You could
macro your 'd'elete key to 's'ave to the proper archive folder. You
could probably use Cedric's trash folder patch to define the proper
archive folder as the trash can for each mailbox.

% I'd much appreciate any tips/pointers that help me towards either of the
If you haven't done it yet, sit down and take a good read through the
manual. Check out various hooks as well as some variables like $move.
In addition, surf through the archives (found from mutt.org) for similar
questions; this sort of thing has come up before.
% above. Mutt's a great mail program, and solutions to these two problems
% would put me close to MUA nirvanah.
There ya go :-)
