Damn!  Walked right by it 3 times in the muttrc man page.  Thanks...
That did it.  =)

What I meant was that doing a folder hook on a connect script would, I
would think, not work very well.  Wouldn't it try to ssh in over and
over every time you switch folders?

Glad to hear about account-hook, though, sounds like that's exactly
what I need.

Since I'm new to the list, just thought I'd give my thumbs up.  I
finally went through the work to migrate to mutt, and not a week goes
by that I don't find something new and cool to do with it, and go,
"MAN, mutt rocks!".  Keep up the good work guys...  =)
