Figured it out, with a bit of a tip from David Champion (thanks dude!) :
folder-hook =^b 'save-hook . =bobby'
Of course this reminds me that the pattern either matches the entire
absolute filesystem pathname or any piece of the absolute pathname.
There's no shortcut to match a relative pathname. For example, the
above working folder-hook works for this path:
/home/eugene/Mail/bob
but does not work for this path:
/home/eugene/Mail/info/bills
It would be nice to have another mailbox shortcut that would act as a
pseudo directory separator that refers to your current directory. Too
bad this doesn't work:
folder-hook ./^b 'save-hook . =bobby'
