This example worked, but I might find the reason why it didn't work
in general. I saved the following script as mutt-test and put a line
`mutt-test bar` in my .muttrc
#!/bin/sh
email="$1"
cat <<EOF
set my_test1=${email}
set my_test2=${email}
set my_test3=cat
EOF
set ?my_test1 does give the expected answer but not for my_test2 and
my_test3 (unknown variable). My conjecture is the that back-tick
trick only work for the first line for output and it will ignore the
rest of lines.
