The first line is a status line

- This is noted at the mutt wiki under "NB2" at
  http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/QueryCommand.

  I'm adding it below for posterity, because it isn't clearly stated in
  other documentation:

```
 NB2 A couple of points about the query_command:

    The initial "echo;" is there because mutt doesn't use or display the
    first line as a potential address; it doesn't seem to be used
    anywhere with my fairly stock mutt install, but that doesn't mean
    it's useless. Change the echo statement to output anything you want
