They all have
From: logcheck system account <[email protected]e>
and I would like to match for "logcheck system account", not for the
mail address as this may vary.

For the message given above, "~f logcheck" matches, but "~f system"
does not. I guess that the ~f match only goes for the address in the
head itself.

No, the pattern modifier can be followed by any regular expression.
"~f system" should match "system" anywhere in the "From:" header. I
have just confirmed this using Mutt 1.7.0. What version are you using?

actually, what I want is a message hook.

Limiting my view to ~f "logcheck system account" does work,
message-hook '~f "logcheck system account"' 'set pager="less"'
does not.

What's the difference here? I guess it's a quoting issue.

Using mutt 1.7.2 (which identifies itself as NeoMutt) on Debian
stable.

Greetings
Marc
