Some years ago, I had written  a  message  to  the  <mutt-users>  and  I
suggested to comment out the manual and rename it to muttrc like

    zcat /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt |sed 's|^|# |g' >~/.muttrc

and then uncomment one option after one...  And Yes, it is then  a  VERY
HUGE config, but you have ANY Notes and comment in it but you  have  all
together.  This Tip helped many new users...

Note:  "set folder=..." should be at the very first begining
