Something to keep in mind is this: shortcuts are resolved right away,
not later. $record is not re-interpreted later (unless you force it to
be). So, as far as mutt sees, what happens when you set that in your
muttrc is this:
mutt says "ah, you wish to set $record to the current folder"
mutt asks "what is the current folder?"
mutt answers "there is no current folder - I'm just reading my rc
file for the first time"
mutt says "okay, so $record is set to the empty string"
So, you used the right syntax, and mutt did exactly what you told it
to do.
In order to set the FCC to be the current mailbox whenever you send a
mail, you would need to have something like the following in your
muttrc file:
folder-hook . 'set record="^"'
What that does is forces $record to be changed to the current folder
whenever you open a new folder.
