% Can you "filter" incoming messages (to a single mailbox
% /var/spool/mail/username) into other mailboxes, based on subject or other
% criteria using Mutt?
You can use very powerful regular expression construction to tell mutt
where to save messages, and then tag groups of them and let those regexps
take effect. Check out "save-hook" and "tag" in the manual. But...

% I can't find anything that explicitly describes this in the manual - although
% it does talk about multiple "spool" files ... Do I have to use something
% like procmail to do the filtering?
... an external program like procmail is, by far, the better way to go.
For one thing, mutt filtering won't happen until you get into mutt and
(probably) start pressing keys to tag and save by yourself (though you
might get clever and "push" the necessary keystrokes).
