If your exclusion pattern is pretty fixed you can rewire the "l" macro. 
Support you want to ignore messages with "mutt" in the subject.  Then:

  macro index l '<limit>! ~s mutt '

In this way when you want to use (l)imit the exclusion is always 
prepended to the pattern, so you can just type the extra condtions.
