I tried your code in both mutt and neomutt, created that 1.rc file in
the relevant directory, and both of them gives me error

Error in .muttrc,   ~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc<enter>: unknown
command
Error in .muttrc,  
~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc<enter><edit-from><kill-line>current-from<enter>:
unknown command
Error in .muttrc,   ~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc: unknown command

for mutt I also created a 1.rc file in ~.mutt/profiles.d/1.rc, still
gives me the same errors.

Can you check your codes to see if you typed correctly or you may have
left something?
