This is a bit OT here (and I'm also replying to the wrong message, since
I don't have the whole thread), but it seems that you can achieve the
same goals without patching mutt: First, as you might be aware, it's
possible to delete a subthread (bound by default to ESC d.) Second, I
think you can do exactly what you want with something like:
macro index \Cd "\Ct .\n<esc>tD ~T ! ~F\n"
"Delete unflagged thread messages"
(all in one line.) This untags all messages (\Ct .), tags the thread
(<esc>t), then deletes messages which match the pattern that say the
message is tagged (~T) and not flagged (! ~F). I assumed here that the
key bindings are the default ones, and that you have 'delete_untag' set
(otherwise you will want to untag them yourself, with an extra "\Ct ."
at the end.) The only problem is that it will remove all tags you
previously had.
