Mutt doesn't do this. But procmail need not be a pain.
I use this:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/cats2procmailrc/
to generate a procmail file from a list of simple rules. For example,
my rules for mutt say:
attn Mutt-Announce [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mutt Mutt-Users [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mutt Mutt-Users [EMAIL PROTECTED]@korn.aiss.de
mutt Mutt-Users [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mutt Mutt-Users sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
mutt Yahoo-Mutt-Users [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Which puts the announcements in my "attn" folder and all the others in my
"mutt" folder. Use is thus:
cats2procmailrc < categories > $HOME/.procmailrc
where "categories" is the file with lines like the above.
Makes it all very easy. Think of the categories as a high level thing
and the procmailrc as the machine code :-)
