they go to the great bit-bucket in the sky.

you can use a macro (see the archives) to bind 'd' to save messages to a
folder, or better, you can apply cedric duval's excellent trash folder
patch.

speaking of which, is there a reason this isn't integrated into mutt?
while it may perhaps be true that real geeks mean "delete" when they say
"delete", this does seem like a feature that would be useful for a lot
of people.

one thing would be to set $alternates correctly and then set
$reverse_name so that you reply with the address the message was sent
to.

you could also look at send-hooks, message-hooks, and folder-hooks.
