No.
Muttbug (a reporting utility) is also disabled.

A feature which allows a user to type '!mv %s anotherfile'
(on a message [in index] or a mailbox [in browser]) would be
useful;
delete a maildir: !rm -fr %s
safely delete?: !ls %s/cur/* %s/new/* || rm -r %s
move a maildir: !mv %s another
link a message: !ln %s `dirname %s`/../anotherdir/cur/
But this will introduce incompatibility if implemented.
(i.e. '%%s' for literal '%s')
