% I'm new to mutt (moving from mh-e), and I have two questions for which

Welcome!


% I can't find the answers in the docs.
% 
% 1) Is there a way to open part of a folder? Say I have a folder with
%    2000 messages, and I want to only look at, say, 190-200?

You can limit your view to just about any slice that you want, but you'll
still be opening the whole folder (mbox, Maildir/, mh, MMDF) and so
processing time can be tough.  Fortunately, mutt is light and lean and
fast, and lots of folks have *huge* folders (my mutt-users folder has
just topped 10k messages! and is still quite responsive) without
problems.


% 
% 2) What's the right way to do batch refiling, particularly of mailing
%    lists? Is there a way to specify a save-hook based on "To:" rather
%    than "From:"?

The actual best way is the same as when it is delivered: run it through
procmail or another MDA.  Otherwise you should probably tag a pattern and
then save that bunch to wherever and go on to the next pattern.
