I want to emulate typing a dozen or so keys into mutt 'automatically'

standard input because that makes mutt think you want to run in
scripting mode with everything on the command line.
Is there a quick and easy way to do what I want?
Would mutt's "push" command do you? It pushes keystrokes onto mutt's
logical keyboard input queue. For example, my muttrc has this:
folder-hook . 'push ":set collapse_unread=no<enter>"'
folder-hook . 'push ":set
auto_tag=no<enter><untag-pattern>~T<enter><tag-pattern>~P~N<enter><tag-prefix-cond><clear-flag>N<untag-pattern>~T<enter><end-cond>:set
auto_tag=yes<enter>"'
folder-hook . 'push "<collapse-all>"'
to run a set of keyboard based stuff when I enter a folder.
You can bind things like this to a keyboard macro, and my "mboxify"
sheel script includes this incantation:
mutt -n -F /dev/null -f "$mailbox" -e "set sort=mailbox-order; set confirmappend=no; set delete=yes; push
'<tag-pattern>.<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>$mailboxtmp<enter><sync-mailbox><exit>'"
to copy one mail folder's messages into a plain "mbox" mail folder.
