Thanks, everyone. One minor annoyance is when Message-IDs have special characters in them, e.g., I tried replying to an email today whose Message-ID had '$'s in it. In that case, the $s must be escaped, not to \$, but to \\$, as mutt strips off one level of \s, according to the manual. I currently simply replace each $ by \\$ and it works, but asking just in case there is a well-known answer: is there some general solution that mutt users use for escaping a pattern according to what mutt wants?
