Ah, I see!

Possibly.  I suppose it depends on the relative merits of parsing the
mail via the mutt helper (which is Perl in my case) vs. doing it with
elisp.  Maybe I should change the helper to store an elisp form
representing a property list of the mail's metadata via the temporary
file rather than a preformatted mairix link - that way other
mutt/org/remember users have more flexibility in their remember
templates.  But then, when and how would emacs parse that plist as a
replacement for the normal `org-store-link-props' invocation?
