The way I handle this is to create shell scripts that contain 
pipelines of display_filters.  For example, I have one hook that 
executes "set display_filter=mail-to-filter" and another one that 
executes "set display_filter=mutt_gen_disp_filter" where the 
mutt_gen_disp_filter script contains (in part):

    mail-to-filter |
    perl -pe '
    ...

I've omitted a lot of details, but that should give you the idea.

HTH,
Gary
