This won't unfortunately work, as far as I know.  You can't change the
environment variables of the Mutt session from within Mutt because if
you use something like backtics or the exec-command, the variables get
changed for the sub-process.  When the sub-process exits those varibles
are lost, the variables of the main Mutt process never change.

This would be changed if there indeed were a command to change the
current environment variables, like has been suggested.  Maybe for
1.3...
