I was excited by the possibility too.  :-)

However, just so everyone is clear, MuttLisp is more of a syntactic 
enhancement for the muttrc than a real language.  You can use it to make 
some decisions, but it doesn't have functions, lambdas, loops, or its 
own variables.  Of course, maybe that will expand in the future!

See the manual examples to get an idea what it can currently do.
