As the manual says, when evaluating one of send-hook, save-hook, 
fcc-hook or message-hook:

"Mutt allows the use of the search pattern language for matching 
messages in hook commands. This works in exactly the same way as it 
would when limiting or searching the mailbox, except that you are 
restricted to those operators which match information mutt extracts from 
the header of the message (i.e. from, to, cc, date, subject, etc.)."

I was trying to match on stuff that wasn't just in the header.

Thanks to those who made suggestions.
