When I remove the double quoutes from the middle statement I get an
error msg telling me there's an error on that line and it points to the
'tw'. So that didn't work.
I did a $mutt -v and it told me my version is : mutt 1.0pre3us
(1999-09-25). If that matters.

Yes that's the way I checked it the first time you suggested it. In the
command line area below the mutt index window.
