incoming: procmail.
Send/save: folder-hook, fcc-save-hook based on list.

Great! I hadn't noticed the appearance of the "-" shortcut.

Thanks.

Sure, and I can concatenate two of my mailboxes to a temporary file
and see what it looks like in mutt.

But it is hard to test that Fcc:s end up in the right folder without
actually sending "test, please ignore" mails to various people and
mailing lists. That's the kind of problem I was thinking about.

(Making changes to ~/.procmail makes me even more nervous, so this
isn't intended as critisism of mutt specifically.)

a) you certainly have >1 private addr, otherwise you can easily make
another.
b) no need to send, replace $sendmail with a dummy script for
testing.

Similar test-env can be done with procmail, too.
