I don't recall this ever working.  Can you narrow it down to when it
did?

On a different machine, zsh 4.3.2-25 (Debian stable), using the above
four-line .zshrc, works as I'd like.  By the way, there

dion% setopt
noequals
interactive
monitor
shinstdin
zle

On the system in question, currently I have Debian's 4.3.4-dev-3-2.
There I had no complaint with the versions up to to Debian's 4.3.4-26.
(According to my dpkg.log, the other versions I've had over the past year
are 4.3.4-{2,3,8,10,12,13,14,18,21,24}.)

Looking at _mailboxes suggests it should work, but I don't use mutt so
can't follow this.  Can someone find out what change did this?

= seems to be transformed at some point to \= and when it
reaches _mua_mailboxes, the compset -P '=' fails.

Now, we should be able to complete:
mutt -f \=...

mutt -f '=...

so I don't know what the best way to fix it would be.

There's another (smaller) problem with complist.

mutt -f '+<Tab><Tab>

the closing ' is not inserted.

Another problem is for subdirs that don't work:

mutt -f +Misc/zs<Tab>

doesn't work.

To reproduce it:

mkdir -p ~/Mail/{foo,bar}/baz
mutt -f \=<Tab>

You don't need to have mutt installed.
