How does mutt decide what you get displayed in the browser when you
enter a '?' after a 'c' or an 's'?

I would like to be able to save to a remote IMAP folder by browsing to
the required folder but I can't find a way of getting to see the IMAP
server's directory when issuing the 's' command.

By default if i hit 's' followed by '?' I get the local folder
hierarchy.  Even if I do a 'set folder={x-1.net}INBOX.' and then do
the 's' and '?' I *still* get the local folder hierarchy in the
browser. Is there any variable I can set to tell the browser to start
somewhere else?

I have found one way but it seems a bit clumsy, if I do a 'set
folder={x-1.net}' then hit 's', delete the the default =xxxx that
appears, enter TAB then CR I get to the remote IMAP folder and can
browse. The browser is then 'stuck' on the remote IMAP until I enter a
specific local folder to get back to.  'set folder=~/Mail' doesn't
seem to get me back.

A mutt variable to set the 'root' for browsing would be very useful!
