In answer to your questions:

I don't know the answer to (1) (but I believe that has been answered)

To solve (2) I define a macro, such as the following:

bind ,s save-message
macro index s ",s="
macro pager s ",s="


To solve (3) I define the following:

bind pager <up> previous-line
bind pager <down> next-line


If you like I can send you my .muttrc file (I have mine set up so that it
was easiest for me to change from pine - plus a few other enhancements).


Anyway, hope that helps.

Chris

Okay, a couple of mutt questions:
Q1
the command

set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"

works fine, but


folder-hook debian set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15n (%4l) %s"         

gives a "no variable Z" error or somesuch. I think this is probably because
mutt is trying to expand the %Z during the folder-hook command rather than the
set command. I've tried using quotes and backslashes, to no avail.

Q2 It'd be really nice if I could specify a
save-messages-to-this-file-by-default kind of a string. I have a lot of mail    
to sort through and it's a bit tiresome deleting the default filename (the
first few letters of the sender's name) and typing in where I want it to go
for each and every message.

Q3. If I delete a whole bunch of messages and then find that somewhere within
that block there is one I need, I don't seem to have any option except to
undelete from the top to the one I need, then go back up and delete the rest.
Can I change this?

Other than that, I really like this mail-reader.
