I think the syntax error you're getting is because the syntax is:
 folder-hook [!]regexp command

but you have two things after the regex.  Try:

 folder-hook .  'unset smtp_url; set strict_threads=no'

See how the command is all one quoted string?

You also have a ton of settings on that one line.  You might consider:

 folder-hook . 'source ~/.mutt/folder_defaults.rc'
 folder-hook '(mutt|fedora)'   'source ~/.mutt/folder_techlists.rc'  # or 
whatever name

Then make sure that *every* setting is set (or unset) in each RC file.  So if 
you set ssl_starttls in folder_techlists.rc, you'll need to set or unset it in 
folder_defaults.rc.  Otherwise, you will have different settings depending on 
which folders you have visited.

Thanks very much for this, however, I get an error, when I do the following:

 folder-hook .  'unset smtp_url'; 'set strict_threads=no'
 folder-hook '(mutt|fedora|postfix|fetchmail|openbox)' 'set from =
em...@address.com; set smtp_url="something"; set smtp_pass="somethingelse"; set
 envelope_from_address="em...@address.com"; set use_envelope_from=yes; set from 
= "em...@address.com"; my_hdr Bcc:; set forward_format = "[FW frm %a:%s]";set 
realname = "Real Name"; set ssl_force_tls = yes; set ssl_starttls = yes'; 'set 
strict_threads=yes'

When I go to the mutt folder, I get:

 Error in /home/email/.muttrc, line 286: set strict_threads=no: unknown command
 Error in /home/email/.muttrc, line 288: set strict_threads=yes: unknown command
 source: errors in /home/email/.muttrc

Is my syntax incorrect here? Am I missing some other package/mutt helper?

Many thanks,
Ranjan
