Hey all,

One of the best features of mutt, IMO, is how it handles MIME-digest
listserv messages.  The fact I can 'enter' a multi-message message and
make it act just like a folder, with all my familiar functions and
navigation, is really great.  No other MUA does that as well -- in fact,
I think MIME digests are MORE annoying with Thunderbird and Outlook, but
they work really well with mutt.

And then my mailserver changed to Exchange, and I've made a few keen
observations.  First is that when Exchange deconstructs and reconstructs
the listserv MIME digests I receive, it packages them back up as
Content-Type: multipart/mixed instead of multipart/digest.  I'm not sure
how it can legally change the content type like that, but it does.  (It
also generates its own text-alternative to any HTML messages, and
quietly discards the one sent with the email - but that's an argument
for a different day.)

I'm using OfflineIMAP to sync with Exchange, and then I point mutt at
the local maildir.  To get back my favored digest view, I've been
Control-E editing the message in mutt to change the Content-Type back to
multipart/digest.  This works but it's manual and I'm getting tired of
doing that for each MIME digest I read daily.  Can that be automated
somehow?  Either in mutt (like a folder-hook) or with another tool that
would work with maildir to adjust the proper messages?

Thoughts?  Ideas?  Recipes?  

Thanks for any help,
Dave
