pipe the attachment thru formail (procmail utility) and direct the
output to an mbox file, then write a macro to start another instance of
mutt opening the submect mbox file.
formail -ds procmail [-m sandbox.rc or none] < file.txt or,
formail -ds procmail < file.txt
-s (split digest or xx), pipe a file back into system as if just rec'd
-d Tell formail that the messages it is supposed to split need not be
in strict mail-box format
formail -s procmail < file.name
