Thanks, everyone. One minor annoyance is when Message-IDs have special
characters in them, e.g., I tried replying to an email today whose
Message-ID had '$'s in it. In that case, the $s must be escaped, not
to \$, but to \\$, as mutt strips off one level of \s, according to
the manual. I currently simply replace each $ by \\$ and it works, but
asking just in case there is a well-known answer: is there some
general solution that mutt users use for escaping a pattern according
to what mutt wants?
