I'm not quite shure what you want mutt to do in this case. Functions
as e.g. "limit" can match on specific content of a message-id (~i),
but I doubt you can extract the current message-id via pure mutt
functionality (please correct me if I'm wrong).

You could use a short python or perl-script to extract the message-id,
e.g. something like this

 perl -ne '/^Message-Id:\s+(.*)/; print "$1\n";'
