 Since I upgraded from lenny to squeeze I found that my 'hdr_order'
 configuration has stopped working.

 How to reproduce it:

 $ mutt -F /dev/null -e "hdr_order from date to cc subject" -f /tmp/msg

 With this, the 'Date' header should appear between 'From' and 'To'.
 However, it appears in the first position. The reason for this is that
 it's being overriden by /etc/Muttrc.

 Removing the 'hdr_order' line from /etc/Muttrc makes it work as
 expected, but users shouldn't need to do that.

 strace suggests that the config files are being read in the correct
 order (/etc first, $HOME last). This has also been reported in the
 mutt-users mailing list, but apparently with no solution so far:
