I actually did something like that just recently. I dump a lot of
mailing lists into the same folder and wanted messages labeled by
which list they came from. For example I wanted "[mutt-users]" to be
displayed in the subject lines for messages from this list. My
solution was to embed a Lua interpreter into mutt, and have mutt's
index display call a Lua function to filter each subject string.
The current patch is very rough and was done mainly as a thought
experiment. If I get a chance at some point I'll do a better version
and send it to mutt-dev.
