No, Kyle, the information was useful. Thank you.

Sorry to have dragged things off topic, but in short, my immediate
question was resolved, which is that I can name a message whatever I
want and subsequently move it from ~/Mail to where I want it. I work
on material in terms of their location in several thousand
subdirectories rather than separate files located by means of a
subject line search such as provided by mutt. When I do have to
search, I grep a subdirectory tree.
Thanks, Kyle, for your patience and help.
