Michelle,

Hmmm.  I did some experimenting and verified that that hook works 
for me.  I also tried executing some invalid commands and noticed 
that the error message does not normally begin with ":" unless the 
invalid command began with ":".  For example, type

    :sett timeout=100

and the message is

    sett: unknown command

but type

    ::set timeout=100

and the message is

    :set: unknown command

So my guess is that your folder-hook is actually correct but that
~/.mutt/security.pgp.debian contains a ":source" command instead of 
just "source".

The only other explanation I have is that it could be a bug in your 
version of mutt, 1.5.6+20040907i.  I'm using 1.5.5.1i.

Regards,
Gary
