Is there a way to do (or request enhancement or fix bug):
1) Can I pipe a UN*X command into a Mush variable? This is so I can do
something like this in my .mushrc:
expr '${COLUMNS:-80}' - 54 | set subject_len
set hdr_format = "%22n %M%-02N %T (%-3.5lL)%.${subject_len}s"
...or...
set subject_len = "`expr '${COLUMNS:-80}' - 54`"
set hdr_format = "%22n %M%-02N %T (%-3.5lL)%.${subject_len}s"
2) With the above hdr_format, the "%n" field will substitute
something like "TO: addressee" if mush recognizes me as the sender.
It looks like is only looking at the username field of an address
that looks like "other_site!scott" and comparing with my username.
Seems it should look at the user's machine name (the alts command
list), too. Am I missing a variable setting somewhere or is it
supposed to work this way?
3) Is there some way to have the curses mode "update" command go
ahead and update the folder without asking?
Thanx,
Scott Blachowicz
