[PATCH] Re: is it possible to set pager search pattern based on message-hook?

[Will Fiveash]

I think I have a better fix.  I've included a patch that introduces a
search_regex pager setting.  This allows one to initialize the search
string via a message-hook when entering the mutt pager.  Here is an
example of how to use it:

message-hook '~s "^CR "' 'set search_regex="^=== "'

This has fewer side effects than using push.
