1. How can I get mush to treat +/incoming/inbox as my spoolfile
   for all commands, e.g., "mush -s ~/mail/incoming/inbox -H",
   ":folder %", w/o compiling it into mush? The -s commandline option
   doesn't do it.

2. Is there a way to pass mush variables to an external executable
   invoked by a "pipe" command; e.g., if I

	:pipe "foo $folder $show_hdrs > /tmp/foo.out"

   foo gets no command line arguments, as though "pipe" doesn't do
   $ expansion. I've tried all kinds of variations of quoting (or
   not quoting, but either I haven't found the right combination or
   it just doesn't work at all.
