Thanks for the pointer, but I must be still missing something. First
of all, the syntax above doesn't work here when I test the tag-pattern
commands from within mutt (1.5.9i): I have to type (after T) :

        ~h "List-Id: CentOS"

that is, no question mark, add quotes.

When I put everything together in a macro, with or without the comma
after "macro index":

macro index ,S '<tag-pattern>~h "List-Id: CentOS mailing 
list"<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>+2007.09.centos<enter><tag-pattern>~h 
"List-Id: For users of 
Fedora"<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>+2007.09.fedora<enter><tag-pattern>~h 
"Mailing-List: contact 
users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>+2007.09.oo_users'

something happens, but is not what I want. First I get a compose
window, with (I believe) the first of the tagged messages, then a
prompt to save another of the tagged messages to the folder I set in
the macro. If I unset confirmappend I do find all the right messages
tagged when I get back to the index, but not moved to the destination
folders, except three. 

I found in the centos folder, that is the first mentioned in the
macro, three messages, one from centos, one from openoffice users, one
from fedora: I assume they where the first found by each of the three
parts of the macro. What is still missing?

TIA,
        Marco
