My guess is because you haven't set $history. According to the mutt
documentation:
history
Type: number
Default: 10
This variable controls the size (in number of strings
remembered) of the string history buffer. The buffer is
cleared each time the variable is set.
$save_history only affects the limit placed on the file, not the limit
mutt places on itself. Thus, $save_history is only used if
$save_history < $history (AND if $save_history > 0, but for an
entirely different reason).

Ah, well, the thing the documentation leaves out here is that if
$save_history is 0, there is no limit to the size of the $history_file
(I think). Probably worth checking by setting save_history to 1, but I
*think* that's the way it works.
Hope that helps,
