Notify:
color header ^dispo... color1 color2
color index ~h '^dispo...' color3 color4
unignore dispo...
With the help of procmail and mutt's x-label feature you could do
other things, too, based on that Dispo... header.
One action: macro(s).
Simple to me.

Well, milage varies. Some like mutt for its current nature of
simplicity and flexibility. Obviously not all do, and prefer mutt to
transform into some suit-all-easily beast, which requires some more
code not used by all/ many "classic" mutters. As usual, we never
know the exact numbers and therefore who's right.

It's true ... to me. I can only speak for myself based on what I
know and need (for your task).

No message-hooks needed.

Not needed either: when you see it, you decide to press the key or
not.

So are many other things.
It's just one of many other "mutt must have".
