Maybe the order is not supposed to matter (I don't know too much about
the internals of Mutt). But I found out by trial and error that when
then catchall "." hook is at the end, that command gets executed
anyway, and the value is always equal to the default value. It sounds
pretty logical too, that the hooks get executed in order, and thus the
more specific hooks should come towards the end, because the catchall
hook will literally "catch all", and get executed no matter which
folder is opened currently.
