Since you mentioned backslashes, I feel the need to point out that you
can easily get in trouble with them, since Mutt's parser likes to eat
backslashes for breakfast.
For instance, while processing the 'macro' command above, the
backslashes will be removed while examining the macro text, unless you
use 'single quotes' around the text of the macro. But also, when the
macro is evaluated, the input parse will scan for backslashes, and eat
some more of them. So the correct way to get the above working would be
something like this:
macro index <key> 'T~s \\[LUG\\]<enter>;s=lug<enter>'
or if you used double-quotes,
macro index <key> "T~s \\\\[LUG\\\\]<enter>;s=lug<enter>"
