That's not quite what I wanted to do. I wouldn't want to save *every* message to the archive (some messages are not useful to keep around, e.g. spam etc.). Making a hook macro to save the message to the archive mailbox would make it slightly faster, but the synchronize part is also a problem. Right now, in order to make the moved message disappear immediately from the message listing, I would have to synchronize, which would also delete any messages (and also takes a second or two; synchronize is not instantaneous). I suspect what I'm talking about would not be possible without hacking the mutt source code. Anyone have ideas on how to do this (and how many other people are interested in having such a feature? :).
