shell parsing is different from mutt's parsing.
what else is new?

try this:    set attribution=`script`
im mutt, of course.

anyway, words in the attribution are superfluous.
all that it takes are name+address:
  set attribution="* %n <%a>:"

the '*' and ':' are simply used to
align the name with the quoted text
and make this line unique (which is
quite helpful with header editing).

PS:  iab prb problem
