I think you need to quote the "set index_format=blah" part if it already has quotes in it, or at least this worked fine on my mutt 1.3.20. I tried your line as such: folder-hook mbox 'set index_format="%4C %Z %s"' and it worked fine, give it a go and see :) Cheers, Sean -- Sean Quinlan ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
