The first argument of the if command is (or was) not "$muttvariable",
but just "muttvariable".
You can use $environvariable and $$muttvariable anywhere in the if
command - just like in all other commands - if you use the two
patches. The $ and $$ expressions will be expanded before the if
command (or any other command) is parsed and executed.
