Thanks very much for the ideas. I am still mentally trapped in the idea that 
mutt
has to do everything instead of integrating mutt with different tools. I
now understand the multiple potentialities of mutt. 

>From what I understood, it would be possible:
(a) to direct the "$sendmail" variable to a script that includes
procmail as a mail filter.
(b) mutt saves all mail to the same folder and procmail (from a cron
job, for example) processes the mail in that folder.

You have given me many options to work on :-) Much grateful!

Cheers!
