Should be:
        http://home.uchicago.edu/~dgc/mutt/#x-label

It does (that's actually all this patch does). It's bound to 'y', and
the binding name is <edit-label>. You press 'y' while a message is
highlighted (or <tag-prefix><edit-label> while messages are tagged), and
the status line prompts for a new label. This label gets applied to the
message (or all tagged messages) in the X-Label: header.

The rest of the X-Label stuff is in mutt naturally as of 1.4. I have
other patches at the same site to provide this to older versions.

Not at all; I use it for lots of things besides, including spam scoring
and simple notes to myself.


Someone was working on a further patch to do sorting based on X-Label.
Not sure how that's coming. It's been on my to-do list for some time,
but I don't seem to be getting around to it. The combination would
provide exactly what this poster is looking for, I think.
