Comment:
mutt parses the output of the bacticks (``) as if it were literally in the
command line. So what is happening here is the backticks are replaced and
the command is parsed as:
{{{
set my_x = a#b
}}}
If you want to preserve the hash mark (#), you need to make sure the
backticks output the string in quotes:
{{{
set my_x = `echo \'a#b\'`
}}}
which becomes
{{{
set my_x = 'a#b'
}}}
