My problem was that the subject lines were all the same: a generic
message telling me something got auto-discarded.

Some Mutt trickery to highlight "Subject:" lines within the body of
messages helped [1], and heavy use of pattern matching features of
Mutt to find spammy keywords (e.g., "~b rolex") [2] helped...  but it was
still Work(tm), and I've got enough of that in my life already. ;)

Appreciated!


[1] Like so, in my ~/.mutt/muttrc

color body   brightgreen black "^    Subject: "
color body   brightgreen black "^Subject: "

[2] These, and friends:
 * l limit
 * D delete-pattern
