Well, not practical, anyway; if you save a single message it will go where the hook tells it to, so you could have a default hook to ensure that uncategorized mail does not get lost (maybe save it in ! or maybe save it in =justaminute and then reload all of that) and then just save-return-save-return-save-return your way down the list (no doubt by macro). And if you don't get much mail and aren't on many lists and such you may only have one or two dozen mails to handle like that and so it isn't completely insane. % % How do people usually manage their mailing lists when only using Mutt One probably has a spool file, an mbox file for old stuff, and a sent file for what has been sent.
