Why doesn't folder-hook . 'set noread_only' have an immediate effect? This is in my .muttrc: folder-hook . 'set noread_only' folder-hook S 'set read_only' Using mutt -f =S and then typing 'c' gives: Open mailbox in read-only mode ('?' for list): and if I enter another mailbox name it is (as announced :-) opened in read-only mode. Shouldn't the folder-hook for . change that? Switching to yet another mailbox will open it in read/write mode. Mutt 0.95.3i (1999-02-12) System: FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE [using ncurses 1.8.6/ache]
