I have the following in muttrc:


macro index,pager ,m "\
<enter-command> set my_wait_key=\$wait_key wait_key=no<enter>\
<shell-escape> mutt/mairixquery.sh<enter>\
<enter-command> set wait_key=\$my_wait_key &my_wait_key<enter>\
<change-folder>+Special/_mairix<enter>" "mairix query"

macro browser ,m "\
<enter-command> set my_wait_key=\$wait_key wait_key=no<enter>\
<shell-escape> mairixquery.sh<enter>\
<enter-command> set wait_key=\$my_wait_key &my_wait_key<enter>\
<exit><change-folder>+Special/_mairix<enter>" "mairix query"


And mairixquery.sh looks like so:


#!/bin/sh

threads=
augment=

yorn()
{
    local ans
        printf "$1 (yes/[no]) "
        read -e ans
        case "$ans" in
                y*|Y*) return 0;;
                *) return 1;;
        esac
}

printf "Enter mairix query:\n"
read -e query
[ -n "$query" ] || exit 0
yorn "Retrieve thread(s)?" && threads="--threads"
yorn "Append message(s) to mfolder?" && augment="--augment"

mairix $threads $augment "$query"


The biggest shortcoming is that when you cancel, mutt still opens
the mairix mailbox. But perhaps some of the gurus here have a
solution for that.
