When I first load mutt and issue a 'c?' I get to see a directory
of my $folder which I have set to ~/Mail.
Then I navigate down to ~/Mail/AFM/AFM.Mail using the browser and
leave the browser to take a look at a mailbox there.
Now the next time I use the browser by issuing a 'c?' I get to see
the ~/Mail/AFM/AFM.Mail directory contents. This is most likely
several minutes later when I'm doing something else completely so
is not really what I want.
In general I think I'd prefer the browser to *always* start from
$folder or, even better, from some user-definable directory.
I can get back to see my $spoolfile with 'c!', I can get back to a
mailbox in $folder with 'c=<mailbox name> but there's no simple way to
get the browser back to starting from $folder again.
