grouping commands in mutt macro (tag-prefix problem for complex macros)
I encountered problem with applying tag-prefix for macros composed with several commands.
Let start with simple example:
macro index,pager E "<pipe-message>wc<enter>"
It works fine, I could press E to get line count for message under index line, or I could tag several message and using tag-prefix (default ;) I have line count for all selected message. Good.
However, when I add something to my macro like:
macro index,pager E "<enter-command>set pipe_decode<return><pipe-message>wc<enter>"
then using E works, but ;E still count only lines for message under index, not tagged.
It seems that tag-prefix is applied only for first part of macro, not for whole definition.
How can I group macro commands to get desired effect?
(PS I know that putting macro index,pager E "<enter-command>set pipe_decode<return><tag-prefix><pipe-message>wc<enter>" will apply for all tagged messages, but I sometimes want to run macro for current message without changings tags, so this solution, as well as setting auto-tag does not work for me.)

There's resend-message function bound to <ESC>e which does almost the same You're trying to achieve. I've found this blogpost.
But there are some downsides:
- It opens editor,
- You need to change sender and recipient,
- When you tag multiple messages both points above needs to be done for every one of them.
