The right (easiest) way to quote a ^ in mutt > regexps is "^^", because mutt uses ^x for Control-x so it provides ^^ for a > simple caret. ^I means control-I, a tab.

Well, since there really is no such thing as "control-space", mutt is
probably interpreting the "^ " as a caret and then a space. And then the
backspace deletes the space, which gives me the "^blah" that I want, and
works properly. I'll try your ^^ suggestion, though.
