When trying to debug my mutt configuration, I needed to see what was the value of some configuration setting in a running mutt process. How do I figure out what is the current value of a variable in mutt?

Run enter-command (by default it is bound to : in the index view) and then run set ?option, where option is the desired option; mutt will then display what is the current value for the option.

    Upvoting both question and answer because I've been using Vim for so long that I keep thinking the question mark comes after the name of the variable and I come back to this question when that doesn't work. – Anthony Geoghegan Jan 09 '21 at 22:25
