I forgot the my_hdr issue. This line:

   my_hdr "Content-Type: teAxt/plain; charset=usascii; format-flowed"

results in this from from mutt at startup:

So it appears that I can't use a semicolon in my_hdr?

I think this was a mistake, but would be a breaking change to fix now.

Anyway, a workaround would be to put a '\' in front of the semicolons:
  my_hdr X-Foo: bar\; baz

The parser for my_hdr is a bit different - it allows quote characters in the header, so it doesn't treat them specially like elsewhere. However, semicolons are still parsed normally.
