I don't think it does, but in case you want to achieve this with mutt, I
guess a simple solution would be:
- save a copy of the sent mail in your INBOX
- flag it (or mark it in any way that a pattern can match)
- add to your .muttrc that a flagged message older than 1 day (or whatever,
again only Patterns limit your imagination) should be colored in a
specific way (red background anyone?)
- enjoy...
It still is your responsibility to flag/unflag the message, I don't think
that mutt patterns handle "hours" and finally I don't see anything simple
without having the mail remaining in your INBOX, but... it should work.
