There was a patch for Mutt which implemented header indexing, but it
was buggy and had to be removed (from Debian). After that, directory
sorting (actually, it's a merge sort 8-) practically became mandatory
on ext3 with directory hashing.
I think that in the meantime, the has been integrated into upstream
CVS (I don't know if it's been released as a developer snapshot,
though). The header indexing patch may have been revived for Debian,
I think it was fixed recently.
