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. HTH, Gary
