I have found by accident and experimentation that a lot of Emacs
keystrokes work in Mutt. For example, to solve Jeremy's problem, above, I
tried control-e (got to the end of the line), and then start appending to
the proposed folder name. It worked.
Telsa, your BASH experience worked here because BASH also uses many Emacs
keystrokes. Unless you set the vi option: "set -o vi".
