Hi Walter, 

I'd be interested to see how this integrates in your workflow, I'm
looking for a similar solution myself. The current functionality of
mutt/neomutt leaves a bit to be desired when using it as described.

P.S thank you Nils for introducing this to me, I will likely take the
plunge in the near future.
