Sorry, maybe I was not clear in formulating the question. Suppose
that I need to do the same set from=...;\ etc multiple times (eg once
at the beginning of my mutt file, so it is set correctly even before
any folder hooks are invoked; then in a folder-hook, etc). Of course
I can just simply repeat stuff using copy-paste, but having it in one
place is nicer and easier to maintain.
Thanks,
Tamas
