As an example: mutt -e '<limit>all\\n', causes:
Error in command line: <limit>all\n: unknown command
Press any key to continue...
How can I have mutt interpret that correctly?
(I've also tried variants like mutt -e 'macro index "<limit>all\\n"'.)

You need two changes to your command to get it to work:
push command to execute functions<enter> rather than \\n to trigger the enter key at the end of the commandThus, this is the command needed:
mutt -e "push '<limit>all<enter>'"
Useful reference: Mutt's function listing for macros.

May this be combined with variables defined in muttrc? I am trying to do
mutt -e "push '$my_limit_cmd'"in order to start out with a custom filter. – user569825 – 2016-06-21T11:18:40.763Can you give an example of what you're setting
$my_limit_cmdto? – puzzlement – 2016-06-24T03:45:09.000set my_limit_cmd="<limit>all<enter>"for example, – user569825 – 2016-06-25T10:07:21.477
