I may or may not have found a nastyish bug in Mutt, but here's my problem.
(I'm running Redhat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.5-15 and Mutt v0.95.4, and I'm a
relative newbie to Linux, not to mention Mutt).

In my ~/.muttrc if I have

set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d}  %-25.25L (%4l)  %s"

everything works fine, but if I instead prefix that with a folder-hook and
have something like:

folder-hook . set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d}  %-25.25L (%4l)  %s"

or

folder-hook outbox set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d}  %-25.25t (%4l)  %s"

It says "%Z: unknown variable" when loading up the folder (mailbox). It gets
past the %4C but dies on pretty much anything else (%Z, %{%b, etc), because
even a simple "%4C %Z" doesn't work, while "%4C" does.

What is happening? Is it a bug?

The reason I wanna do this is so that in my inbox it tells me who the msg is
from, but in the outbox who it's to (which makes sense).

Thanks for your time.
