Ah OK, that makes more sense... 

Although, I don't really get why Mutt needs a feature for this, when
you can just set the environment variables in... the environment.
Before starting Mutt.  I'd imagine only a handful of people will use
this feature, and if they *really* *really* must insist on setting
environment variables only in Mutt that other programs in their login
session won't see, probably they should've just used a shell script to
set them and start Mutt.  But given the code is already in I guess
there's not much harm.
