I should try that. Maybe that line isn't really setting index_format
at all so I don't see the errors Will is seeing. It could be that my
later folder-hooks are masking that.

Yeah, I found that some parts of the string were a bit picky wrt
spelling (like, extra spaces and stuff). Maybe your line is just
slightly different than mine. I think we are using the same version.
Anyways, the manual is available online at www.mutt.org, and can be
downloaded (IIRC) for off-line use too.
