It seems strange to me that nmh doesn't include something like this.

The answer to this statement is almost always, "Well, you know how it is ...
we all have jobs and lives" :-).  But seriously, you know this is a volunteer
project, right?  There are the pieces to do it yourself, and people have,
but I will admit a built-in capability would be nice.  Lack of time, sadly ...

Jon mentioned the hooks support; I'm not sure that's quite enough right
now, what you might want there is an additional hook that let you move a
message to another folder.  It's not clear to me that current hooks are
allowed to move messages to other folders.

The hooks cover everything so that one can keep track of what message exist
and where they are.  The work for me, but I don't use all of the gritty nmh
features so there might be bugs for some complex cases.  Consider it like
the attachment handling which went for more than a decade before someone
took issue with it :-)  They could certainly be made more robust.
