Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm trying to write a small mutt macro that will set a variable, and then re-use that variable in the same macro. What I'm really trying to do is compose a message and sub in the To: address (which later I will populate dynamically). This is in my .muttrc set my_to = "bobby@test.com" macro index E "<enter-command> set my_to = barry@test.com<enter>mn\$my_to" My problem is the variable my_to never changes from bobby@... to barry@... I believe it has to do with the $ being interpreted during the config parsing, and the manual recommends using an escape . But if I do that, only the literal "$my_to" shows up. What am I doing wrong? update: I still haven't been able to set/get variables as above, but I'd missed an obvious Mutt solution to my problem ESC -e will create a new email based on the existing. Similar to the edit-as-new in Thunderbird.
