been there, done that. found that i'm _more_ productive rapidly
scanning all posts in a single folder rapidly and manually
sorting them to the various folders or dustbin. if i let procmail
send to folders first i find it less productive _for me_ to have
to switch to each folder etc. etc.

thanks Nils, but i have found a different combination of .muttrc
directives suit my working style, folder-hooks and such, i'm very
much aware of mutt's list handling but have chosen a different
approach _after_ trying them out. <g>
