/_It is, in fact indent_string.  I tried it before replying to this
/_message (with ':set indent_string=": "' while in Mutt), and it worked as
/_expected.  (I reset it back to its default before actually composing
/_this message.)

/_How are you trying to set it?  You ought to be able to just put 'set
/_indent_string="whatever you want"' in your .muttrc.

Hmm, I just figured out what that problem was (after all this time).
I had a line in my .muttrc like this: "set indent_string="\ "
It doesn't like the backslash. Any idea how to get around that?

/_Note that if you don't want to have different sort orders for different
/_mailboxes, just set $sort (and $sort_aux, if you want) once and forget
/_about using the folder-hooks, like with 'set sort=threads'.

That's exactly what I did. Thank you.
