Hre you can set Recipes which do the stuff or invoke external

I would do this from a script and a macro@mutt
which let you set flags and such...
I do this too since I have some realy comples situation with some customers
but coded the whole stuff to my needs... And yes, I was coding/testing over
3 weeks but since 4 years it save me the day...

You can FLAG messages in "mutt" OR, if you can code stuff, make a script
with a dialog where aou can set FLAGS and notes and then let a cronjob
do the rest.
Please note, if you want to do individual message threating you need
definitivly Maildir folders. (my system must handel per day over 8000
messages automaticaly and I realy do not want to handel this by hand,
once for a new unhanled stuff is enough and then it must go magicaly...)
