Correct, reasonable and not surprising. Only the "argv" list supports
variable interpolation.

No. However, you can use "procmail" via local(8), in mailbox_command
or mailbox_command_maps, (or via .forward files). All of these do run
as the target user.

Running code as the target user is local(8)'s job. You can have more
than one local(8) transport if your needs are sufficiently complex to
drive you in that direction (multiple groups of settings for aliases,
forward_path, ...)
