If I understand, you want to manually move messages to an IMAP mailbox 
that contains template messages, and then have a virtual mailbox that 
selects messages in other mailboxes that match messages in the template 
mailbox. So, any message in other mailboxes whose "From:" and "Subject:" 
header fields are identical to any message in the template mailbox is 
selected by the virtual mailbox.

I can't think of a way to do that with MailMate's filtering ruleset.
