If you say so. :-)

Hmmm, well I read "status bar" as really the status bar, not the message
line, even though I did consider that. Also the reason he wanted to do
this was that he wouldn't forget which profile was loaded, showing a
single message once wouldn't accomplish that.
Although I guess we'll hear soon enough if he's not happy with changing
$status_format as a solution. :-)

I never thought of that, thanks for the tip. You still can't use
this to do things based on the contents of a *Mutt* variable, only
environment variables, which makes it not nearly so useful.
You have to remember that this will use your default shell's syntax,
not /bin/sh for expansion, right? So for me, using tcsh, it would
instead end with an endif, etc.
