The folder-hook command is expecting to see the command as a single
argument. Therefore, if the command includes any whitespace, the
command must be enclosed in quotes, or the whitespace otherwise
removed. With that change, your hooks would become:
folder-hook . "set sort=reverse-date-received"
folder-hook =/freebsd-current "source ~/.mutt/defaults.maillist"
I removed the spaces surrounding the = in the set command because
the manual doesn't indicate that spaces are allowed there. I also
added a / in the folder name of the second folder-hook, assuming
that one belongs there.
