This doesn't answer your question (I think mutt doesn't do what you want,
btw) but I always run mairix from the command line. I've got a script
called "++" that runs mairix generating a fresh folder, runs up mutt on
it readonly in a window, and discards the folder when that mutt quits.
So:
$ ++ blah blah foo
Just a thought.
