Doh again.  Geeze this is two doh's in one day.  Yes you are correct.
It does work.  I didn't realize that mutt had to be told explicitly
about each of the sub-maildirs.

*sigh*  is it friday yet?

Thanks again.

| what do you mean, exactly?  you can tell mutt that these are mailboxes
| by using the mailboxes command in your muttrc.  a la
| 
| mailboxes = /path/to/FOO
| mailboxes = /path/to/FOO/.bar
| mailboxes = /path/to/FOO/.bar.blah
|

| mutt will automagically give it as the next choice.
