Hi mutt users,

I have a weird problem: I have an $ sign in my imap account’s password, lets 
say word1$word2.
Whatever I put in imap_pass - it does not work. With debugging at level 5, I 
see:

set imap_pass = word1$word2 -> word1 #I understand this
set imap_pass = word1\$word2 -> word1
set imap_pass = "word1\$word2“ -> word1
set imap_pass = 'word1\$word2‘ -> word1\\ #Really!
set imap_pass = 'word1$word2‘ -> word1

But it worked before, with "word1\$word2“. I wanted to add a second IMAP 
account, and therefore, I moved imap_pass away from ~/.muttrc to another file 
and sourced it in muttrc.

I am pulling my hair out…

(three backslashes before $) does not work either.
Any hint is appreciated,

Rainer
