The "%>" in the pager_format setting below is highlighted in red in my .muttrc.
I have a feeling mutt is trying to tell me something about my use of that escape sequence there by this, but I don't know what. # Format of the pager status bar: set pager_format="-%S- [%C/%m] %n %s %> %P %?l?%4l&%4c? lines " I'm also using this escape sequence in compose_format, folder_format and status_format (index status bar), and it's not highlighted in any of those.
