Thanks, this is exactly what happens.
I had forgotten about this because I have set 'auto_tag= yes' in the
.muttrc
However, it turns out that even with <tag-prefix> such as ...
folder-hook . 'push "<tag-pattern>~s
test234<enter><tag-prefix>s\Ca\Ck=isomerica/archive\n"'
if no message matches "~s test234" it does always save the last
message to the archive, so this would have to be changed to _only_
apply _if_ any message is tagged (or is there something like
<delete-pattern> for saving?
Anyway, I don't want to do this anyway, and not even sure if it's of
help to the OP, so no need on my part to pursue this further.
