Of course, the archives don't live there, so all you really need to do is
use google to find a mail archive site...  But now I'm being a pest ;-)


% even think of what to search for.  I tried a few things in Google, but

Yeah, that can be tricky.

Mmmmphmmph! :-)

% Send-hook sounds good, as Cedric also said.  But what about single

BTW, you may find that

  my_hdr 'X-Message-Flag: `$HOME/bin/random.pl`'

will still work -- and then you'll have the simple answer to your

% quotes?

When it's wrapped in single quotes it won't get interpreted at the time
it's read; it will simply get read, and then later it will be
interpreted.  If it's not in quotes, the command is done when you pass
through the muttrc and the value is substituted in and left there (just
like it is for every message later, but it's done just once earlier this
way).
