I've been using the ` to open the tag prompt in mutt-kz. That was working this morning. Now, though, when I type ` I'm seeing



No virtual folder, aborting.


I'm not sure what this might be about or how I brought it on. Any leads welcome.

          I'm repeating what I said on the github issue, you are probably not in a virtual folder when you attempt to tag. Tagging works only in a virtual folder, so it will fail in =INBOX but will succeed in tag:inbox.

          As Suvayu said, probably you are not in a Virtual Folder. I was having a similar problem but because when I was changing folder with a shortcut, I was using "=", which, even if you use "change-vfolder", takes you to a normal folder. For example:



          macro index,pager i "=inbox" #Takes you to the normal inbox



          While if you write without the "=" it goes to the Virtual Folder:



          macro index,pager i "Inbox" #"Go to the virtual Inbox"
