i'd use procmail instead as it is more the unix philosophy to let that
program which is dedicated to mail filtering do the mail filtering,
and mutt, the mail reader, do the mail reading. however, aside from
threading and the tab key to skip between unread messages, i don't
think mutt can filter or sort by message status. i usually just delete
messages i read on mailing lists (they are archived), or move messages
to a read folder when i took the appropriate action (reply etc...)
