"No virtual folder, aborting."

[Amanda Hickman]

I was just starting to use tagging in mutt-kz and used to be able to use the tick (`) to
trigger the tag prompt until this week when suddenly it stopped working and I started
seeing an error instead: "No virtual folder, aborting." -- I can't figure
out what I might have done to bring this on and I can't figure out how to fix it, or
even troubleshoot. 

I tried asking this on Stack Exchange but so far no one has bitten:

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/273743/why-am-i-getting-no-virtua...

The only place I see the error is in this code:
https://github.com/karelzak/mutt-kz/blob/master/curs_main.c but I can't quite decifer
how I'd be triggering it with "`". 

My config / setup are at https://gist.github.com/amandabee/cf7faad0a6f2afc485ee

I'm at a loss and would love any pointers you can offer me. 

Thanks!
Amanda

I noticed that in your config, you have commented out: 

## set virtual_spoolfile=yes 

I tried the same thing in my config and saw the same error when I went
to tag messages using `

So I think enabling virtual_spoolfile, might solve this problem. I do
note that from the file history, it doesn't look like you have ever
used a virtual spoolfile. But I have now tried this on my current
mutt (1.6) and an older installation (1.5.21) and I have needed to have
virtual spoolfile enabled on both of these.
