Sven, thanks for explaining again that the command argument to folder-hook must be quoted in its entirety, but that was not the point.

Setting variables based upon mailbox > folder-hook [!]regexp command > > it says "command" - so this is *one* parameter I am sorry but IMHO that is rather far fetched. Other commands in mutt don't need quoting, which adds confusion. A note there explicitly saying that command needs quoting would rather improve the value of the documentation to non-computer scientists and newbies. However, if the general audience thinks that a software package doesn't need to be more user-friendly then I'm happy to shut up.
