Saving outgoing and incoming messages in same folder

[John Magolske <listmail@xxxxxxx>]

I'd like to save outgoing and incoming messages in the same folder --
convenient for threads. Writing separate hooks for each folder like so
does the job:

    folder-hook grml set record = +lists/grml
    folder-hook mutt set record = +lists/mutt

Wanting a single folder-hook solution I tried:

    set record = +^

which only created a mailbox named ^ in my $folder directory and saved
the outgoing messages there. More searching...and the answer appeared:

    folder-hook . 'set record="^"'

I was ready to send this message as a question to the list when one
last round of searching brought this answer...figured I'd send it
anyway to maybe increase the odds of finding for others searching out
a similar solution. I tried it without the ' ' quotes:

    folder-hook . set record="^"

which also seems to work. Is there a reason those additional quotes
should be included?

Thanks,

John
