Yep, IIRC I was the last one, who had this problem. :-) But if we look
at the reason for this FAQ, there comes up another question: Shouldn't
that be regarded as a bug? If mutt would parse the first of those two
quoted commands correctly, it should regard

        index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"

as one string, like e.g. tcsh interprets

        xyz" "zyx

as one space-containing string. But instead mutt only interpets 

        index_format="%4C

as string and tries to interpret

        %Z

as the next variable which should be set. This can't be proper!
