This has been discussed before. I use this all the time as I get the
mutt lists in digest form. Essentially you just pipe the digest to
"metamutt -D". This opens a new mutt window using a temporary mail
directory and a temporary muttrc file created by metamutt. You then have
all the separate messages in the mutt window. You could easily modify
this to create a new mailbox. Some digests are a bit mixed up, so I
first pipe the digest to a samll script I call premutt to clean them up
before piping them to metamutt. You should find all this in the archives
of the mutt list.
