| macro pager \ce "s/tmp/_f\ny!vim /tmp/_f && cat /tmp/_f \
| >>$HOME/Mail/inbox\n!/bin/rm -f /tmp/_f\n"

I dunno the answer to your question, just offhand, but cat'ing a file/
message to any mailbox that can receive incoming mail, WITHOUT properly
LOCKING it, is an accident just waiting to happen. Don't be surprised
when your mailbox gets destroyed. Caveat emptor ...!
FWIW, my 0.88.14 version of mutt doesn't have it, and I presume your
0.91 version of mutt doesn't either, but I do believe that there are
more recent versions that have the ability to edit a mailbox file built
into mutt already. Someone correct me if I've misinterpreted some of
the msgs that I've seen posted ...
