Section 3.6 of the mutt manual cover keyboard macros. I've never used this
capability, but from a quick look it seems fairly straightforward.

Tag messages hitting 't' - either in index view or while reading the
message. Then, hit ';' while in index view and the "command" line at the
bottom of the mutt window should show "tag-". This is basically a prefix
for whatever command key you hit next. All tagged messages will be
affected. You can even tag by pattern matching. But for that I'll refer
you to the mutt docs - I'm not familiar enough with it to try and explain
it. To save all the tagged messages somewhere, while the bottom line of the
mutt window is showing "tag-", hit 's' and it will say "Save tagged to
mailbox:".
