[vox-tech] Mutt: Saving E-mail Messages as Text Files

[Ken Bloom]

e lets you edit a message in a text editor (whatever editor you set as visual in your .muttrc) 
and save the modifications back to your mailbox, (for example I could change the sender of a 
message)

s lets you save a message, you can change what folder you save it in, you can even save it to 
an imap mailbox

| lets you pipe a message to a command (so when I couldn't figure out the send-hook thing for 
spamcop, I set up a shell script to send to spamcop and set up a macro for |spamcop\n )

on a related note, ! lets you escape to a shell, or run an arbitrary shell command
