I contend that mutt SHOULD USE /bin/sh unconditionally so that mailcap
entries have predictable behaviour. This is standard behaviour on
UNIX-like systems, and mutt SHOULD NOT USE the user's interactive shell.
While use of $SHELL may aid scripting, users can trivially write a
wrapper such as:
#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/zsh /my/zsh/script "$@"
Using the login/interactive shell for scripting will fail in awkward
ways and generate tons of bug reports.
