 to which mutt says Jones: unknown variable when I enter the folder. Is it

Try:

folder-hook mutt set from='Gary Jones my@emailaddress'

Coo, that works fine! TVM! Why is the other way not acceptable? That seems to
be the way that the example .muttrcs have.

Because I suppose that the outer quotes are removed when parsing the
string for the folder-hook command.

1st case: you get: set from=Gary Jones my@emailaddress
2nd case: you get: set from='Gary Jones my@emailaddress'
