It looks like the issue is the extra space you have between the "s" and
the "=".  mutt macros are very literal, and must be written exactly as you
would type them out on the keyboard.  Try something like:

	macro index G "s=spam\n"

Also, I personally find that binding "G" to "last-entry" makes more sense,
but I say that as a vi user.
