Thanks for the response.  This is neomutt 20191207 compiled via
homebrew. But your question helps, because it makes me think that the
problem in this case is still related to the folder-hook and
account-hook issues I've been troubleshooting.

To be clear, the reason I noticed this is because the month changed.
I set record this way:

	set record="=sent-mail-`date +%Y-%m`"

The weird thing is, it looks like it _ought_ to be doing the right
thing.  Here's the relevant bits from debug level 5 for this:
