Yeah could do that... just thought I'd try a project. It's been a few years
since I last burst a digest. At the time, my e-mail client (Mac GUI
client called Claris Emailer), could do this on it's own quite nicely.

Yeah very awkward. Thing is, it appears by the following, that it should
work: Message-ID: <slrn83nhfb.8nc.Jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>#1/1
I'll quote Jeff Davis from November '99 to <comp.mail.mutt>:
"Save this (below) as a file (metamutt). Be sure to make it executable.
Then in your .muttrc add a macro like this:
macro index \Cx "| metamutt -d\n"
Of course you don't HAVE to use Ctrl-X! :-)
Once all this is done, and you receive a digest simply cursor to the
digest (before opening) and press Ctrl-X ..... digest Xplodes!
Mutt Rocks .... RUFF!

Thing is, I couldn't get this to work. Anyone have suggestions, and
should it in fact work?
I understand that Emacs will do this quite handily. ;)
