Oh good, you just saved me a lot of digging and/or retyping. ;) I think that message is a bit more philosophical, but in the thread below it there are some actual scripts and mutt commands I use. I'm sure they've probably gotten some small bug fixes over the years (especially the patch-sending script), so if anybody is reading them as more than just inspiration, let me know and I am happy to share a more current version.
