You can use multi-character sequences for macros, presonally I foudn
that using ',' and '\' suited my requirements and so I have stuffl
like the following in my muttrc:-

    macro index ,s "s?c^U{halkidiki.areti.com}Mail^M"
    macro index ,c "c?c^U{halkidiki.areti.com}Mail^M"
    macro pager ,s "s?c^U{halkidiki.areti.com}Mail^M"
    macro pager ,c "c?c^U{halkidiki.areti.com}Mail^M"
    macro index \\s "s?c^U~/Mail^M"
    macro index \\c "c?c^U~/Mail^M"
