Hi Mutt Support Engineers ;-)
Here goes:
1. After composing a mail, whenever I hit 'c' to change folders, I
keep getting 'new mail in outbox'. I *know* that there is new mail in
outbox, I just put it there, and I would prefer not being reminded
about it over and over again. Is there anyway to tell mutt not to
check a particular folder for new mail?
2. <Tab> cycles through new mail in a folder. How do I cycle through
flagged messages in a folder?
3. How do I get indenting of quoted text like Raju Mathur?
'set indent_string="%v> " '
appends '$first_name>' to quoted text. But the second level of quoting
also gets the same treatment. Raju's mailer, however, does second (and
higher) level quoting with '>'.
His mailer is:
X-Mailer: VM 6.72 under 21.1 (patch 10) "Capitol Reef" XEmacs Lucid
but I don't know what his user agent is.
C'mon guys, mutt should be able to do this.
4. Since mutt threads messages, I don't like to move read messages to
another folder immediately so I can refer to earlier messages (esp. in
li* mail folders). Now being really lazy, I have not kept mbox-hook's
on these folders 'coz I would otherwise have to say 'n' to the 'move
read messages to blah' each time. As a result I have over 5000 mails
in my lih folder and it takes forever to open. Now can I somehow set
the mbox-hook to trigger only, say, once a week?
5. I get mail at a usa.net id. Since there is no pop access or
forwarding there, any mails I need to reply to, I forward to a pop
account. Now how do I *safely* extract the original message and append
to a folder so I can reply to it as if it were the original message
sent to usa.net . (My previous attempt at this was disastrous and I
lost the folder that I was appending to).
Phew. Sorry 'bout the long mail ... hope I have not asked for too much
... but what the heck ... mutt has done everything I wanted so far and
more, and if some of this is not yet implemented, it probably will
soon be available!

P.S. (Bonus question 6.) Suresh, how 'bout that bouncing howto you
