These responses miss the point entirely, I think.

Mutt does mail.  This feature is often requested.  It is a way in
which mutt COULD suck less...  A third-party tool to do the job may
well work, but it's still a separate tool with an interface not
consistent with mutt's, which the user has to learn.  Mutt SHOULD do
this, without the aid of other tools.
