Do you mean that, if you go to save this message, you get

  Save to mailbox ('?' for list): davidtg-muttusers

instead of

  Save to mailbox ('?' for list): =davidtg-muttusers

on your bottom line?  Hmmm...  That sounds almost like you don't have
folder set in your .muttrc or some such.  Have you checked?  Does = work
as you expect?

Well, yeah :-)

What is it that you want to happen? I'm not sure you'll find a useful
compromise.

You can bind c like this:
macro index c change-folderbol=eol Change folder

That should insert = at the beginning of the buffer without erasing
the buffer, but I'm not sure that you'll find it satisying.

One easy way to do get rid of the need for the prefixes '=' or '+' is
to use a shell alias which starts mutt in ~/Mail ('cd Mail;mutt;cd').
