A quick RFE that's beyond the scope of this work, but would be handy 
from the usability perspective -- pass a search term in case multiple 
messages need to be edited.  E.g.:

public-inbox-edit -s "johndoe@example.com" INBOX_DIR

The way I see it working, that would:

1. find all matching messages and put them into an mbox file
2. fire off "mutt -f" to start the editing session
3. do a batch replace of all messages in the edited mbox file

Best,
-K
