It is possible to "tag" message in mutt to accomplish exactly what you 
want.  If I remember correctly, you use t to tag a message, T to tag 
based on certain properties of like messages (such as a regex or simple 
pattern match against sender or subject), and then semi-colon to specify 
that the next keypress-action is to take effect against all "tagged" 
messages.  See the mutt documentation for further details on tagging, a 
very powerful feature.
