You might try the generic spam detection patch I wrote in February.
Thomas has said that he'll consider it for inclusion in future mutt
releases, but that depends on my revising it in a few particular ways.
I'm rather behind on this, but I do intend to revisit it, so your
comments are very much appreciated. I notice that you're running 1.3,
though -- you might need to upgrade, as I've not tested this on anything
earlier than 1.5.6.
I've put the patch on the web here:
http://home.uchicago.edu/~dgc/sw/mutt/patch-1.5.6.dgc.hormel.1
And you can look at my introductory post (to mutt-dev) here:
