I've done that and it kinda works. This is from my muttrc:

folder-hook . '\
        source $HOME/.mutt/profile.normal; \
        set sort=date'

folder-hook Lists '\
        source $HOME/.mutt/profile.dunno; \
        set sort=thread'

The idea is that I like threaded listing for mailing lists, and by-date
otherwise. Also I have two different "identities" for mailing lists and
work.

Curiously, however, the "identity switching" works but the sorting doesn't.
I always het everything sorted by date.

How's that possible?
