Browsing folders using '?' does change some state: it records the most
recent directory so the next browsing starts in the same place.  Just
entering the folder name and hitting enter doesn't do that.

I'll have to dig in a bit to see the problem, but some repeatable
instructions would help.  Does this happen if you start mutt, hit ",i",
and then compose a message.
