Couldn't it be left as an exercise to the witted user or 3rd-party-developer
to write a good search-enginge (probably based on grepmail) and
PROVIDE A HOOK for invoking this search-function in conjunction with
"limit".
I'd like to press a key, invoke the search program which gets two arguments;
the mailbox/dir and my search expression; it returns whatever mutt needs to
do a mailbox limitation on the resulting message set.
What about that?
I use grepmail; but exiting and creating new mailboxes isn't that efficient.
