Well, the trick here is that you're giving mutt a bunch of things to 
do all at once, as others on this list have suggested. HOWEVER, I 
think this can be done if you're especially clever.

The '<save-message>?' part of the macro puts you into the browser. To 
then get mutt to do something as you *exit* the browser (i.e. after 
you've selected an entry), you'd need to tuck your desired behavior 
into the methods of exiting from the browser. For example:

     macro index s "<enter-command> macro browser \\<return\\>
     '<select-entry><sync-mailbox>'<enter><save-message>?"

It would be even cooler if you could have the secondary macro clean up 
after itself:

     macro index s "<enter-command> macro browser \\<return\\>
     '<enter-command>bind browser
     return<enter><select-entry><sync-mailbox>'<enter><save-message>?"

... but there seems to be some problem with the handling of <enter> in 
the rebinding part that I can't quite figure out.
