You took a rather straightforward approach, but as we noted in the other
thread, if we want to provide the same facilities for, say subscribe,
we'll need to add an analog to your code separately for each statement
we want to "enable" in this way. IMHO, a more general solution would
be to simply change the regex syntax to accomodate "in" and "out" parts.
That way, anything that uses regex lists in Mutt would automatically gain
support for this automatically without introducing any new statements.

You may wanna change that a tad for consistency:
+ /* $alternates and $notalternates are case-insensitive,
(I know, it's just a nitpick.)
Thanks for the patch, either way,

Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
