I have a handful of scripts that I use for the display_filter, 
selected using message-hooks nested within folder-hooks.  They do a 
number of things.

-  Sed scripts that remove some or all the "[-- .* --]" comments 
   that mutt adds to MIME parts.

-  A demoronizer equivalent that converts certain Microsoft 
   characters to their ASCII equivalents.

-  The mail-to-filter script that compresses long To: and Cc: lists 
   to no more than two lines.

-  A perl script that adds ANSI color escape sequences around the 
   headings of a company newsletter to make it easier to read 
   quickly.  (Mutt's "color body" commands would work for this, but 
   they can't be cleared and can't be set differently for different 
   messages.)

-  A perl script that attempts to recognize and remove the spurious 
   double spacing added by Outlook/Exchange to text messages.
