Hmm. I think we should do *something*, though. Choices to me include:
a) Announcing how to do it to mutt-users@mit.edu, a mailing list
we don't have but could create, and possibly encourage users to use
with a wrapper script around mutt that touches a dotfile.
b) Announcing how to do it to software-announce.
c) Announcing how to do it in an asksipb column.
d) Making it so it has more context. e.g. prefixing it with
the letter S in the display. Or something in the index line.

Also, I think that even if we don't change the index_line, it would be
valuable to add the other two, so things like 'op' (S[o]rt by s[p]am)
work out of the box, since there is no real penalty... Similarly for
~H in limit commands.
