Hi Dan,
elm used to have a program /usr/local/bin/filter that did
what you want to do, I think. There were concise examples
in the elm documentation and it worked well if the load wasn't
extremely heavy. I used the filter binary for years; the
bad news is that this binary seems to be missing from elm-2.5.
No such feature in mutt....
