I would like to suggest try the Mutt fork Mutt-kz[1]. This integrates support for the Xapian based indexer Notmuch[2]. What the OP is asking can be achieved very easily using notmuch. In fact, the <entire-thread> command does exactly that[3]. I can also provide a shell script (older than the <entire-thread> command) that does something similar. The fork is maintained & developed actively and it is synced with recent Mutt developments quite regularly (e.g. changes from 1.5.22 was merged recently). Using notmuch simplifies a lot of similar problems, but the caveat is, it only works if your mailstore is in Maildir format. I have been using it for a little less than a year now, it has been performing remarkably well.

It sets us free.
