Mutt with gmail like labelling

I stumbled upon something on how to manage labels in mutt. See this post .

I have been using mutt for two years but I never really needed this feature. As the usage of email is increasing, this is a great way to label the emails. It is much better than tagging.

Good thing about it that it adds label to ‘X-label’ field of the mail itself and display it in the pager. So labels are stored inside the mail only. Neat!
