I used to do that. Now I get mutt to it when I open the folder; I often want
messages filed in multiple folders, but don't want multiple instances of the
same message in a folder:

  folder-hook . 'push ":set 
auto_tag=no<enter><untag-pattern>~T<enter><tag-pattern>~=<enter><tag-prefix-cond><delete-message><untag-pattern>~T<enter><end-cond>:set
 auto_tag=yes<enter>"'

Auto_tag off, remove any current tags, tag all dups, delete, untag, turn
auto_tag back on.

Me too. The point here is that if you CC the author, then discussions
in which the author is involved show up in the inbox instead of only in
the list folder. This doesn't make everyone happy though.

Try 'g'; it keeps both me and the mutt-users. Works nicely.

That sucks. Do they start the day working, and get tired?
