Re: mutt variable expansion in shell command ?
I did few tests and I think I'm going to use environment variable. Before calling mutt I will source "~/.mutt/my-env.sh" where I'll set the variable I'd like to use in muttrc (eg. MUTT_MAIL_FOLDER=~/Mail). mailboxes `echo -n "+ "; cd $MUTT_MAIL_FOLDER/gmail; find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "*" -printf "+'%f' "` It seems to work fine. I was just looking for a way to do it only with mutt variable.

It seems to work fine. I was just looking for a way to do it only with mutt variable. Well, you can push a string which is subject to variable expansion, eg (untested): :push "blah $mutt_var blah" and make hooks or macros to do such a thing. If what you push then runs a shell script... It is cumbersome, to say the least. Cheers, Cameron Simpson

Whether to reflow the quoted content is up to you. There may be some cases where it's not appropriate to do so. This makes sense, now that you mention it. It wouldn't be appropriate to automatically reflow code blocks, etc. Thanks for the clarification. Cheers, -- José María (Chema) Mateos || https://rinzewind.org/
