When you're building Mutt, you can use the --with-exec-shell=...
directive to specify a shell of your choice. The help text says to
use this "ONLY if /bin/sh is broken", maybe this qualifies as that.
Alternatively, you could ensure /usr/freeware/bin is in your path, and
do "!bash -c ls ~", but that isn't so convenient.
There is no way to change the "exec shell" at runtime, you have to do a
rebuild.
Hope this helps,
Mikko
