I was looking for a way to do something similar, but where I'd pass the current folder name as the argument, and ended up solving the problem with a ton of friendly list help (Hi Cameron!). Check <http://marc.info/?t=122908513500004> and the following email in that thread <http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=124386201828318>. The script I used with that command is in <http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=124386201828319>. The wrapping is a bit ugly, so the solution lines are included below. #v+ folder-hook . 'set my_oldrecord=$record; set record=^; set my_folder=$record; set record=$my_oldrecord' folder-hook . 'push ":\`~/.mutt/listbox-to-email.pl\ $my_folder\`\<enter\>"' #v- This probably won't get you all the way there, but at least it demonstrates how to get information to the command line from inside mutt.
