Ah, ok.  I was wondering if that was some code reference.  One of
these days I'll learn perl...

Sure, I can change it to:
{bignachos.com}Mail/mbox

but I get the same results.  I guess I could try putting the mbox in
the highest level dir on IMAP, but since everything else seems to work
fine, I don't think mutt's choking on the syntax.

The move var defaults to ask-no, and changing it doesn't have an
effect.

I guess I'll just chalk this up as a loss, unless someone can verify
that this should be working over IMAP.

Anyone?
