Ok, thanks so far.
I tried fiddling around with the macro definitions and came to a point
where I lack knowledge.
I defined
macro index .s
"<tag-prefix><sort-mailbox>u<save-message><sort-mailbox>t"\
"Save tagged messages to another mailbox"
This correctly un-collapses the tagged threads and changes to the
point where a filename must be entered. As I wanted it to do.
But mutt now proposes "sort" as a mailbox name.
If possible, I would like mutt to ask me for the mailbox name *I* can
type in (and not mutt proposing me sort) and then re-sort the mailbox
by completing this macro.
Is there a command like
<type-file-name-of-mailbox-to-save-messages-in>
which I could put after <save-message>?
Thanks for any further help.
