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:
