Hi,

how do you set mailboxes from the output of a command? The
documentation says:


 my_hdr X-Operating-System: `uname -a`

   The output of the Unix command ``uname -a'' will be substituted before the
   line is parsed. Note that since initialization files are line oriented,
   only the first line of output from the Unix command will be substituted.


Now I tried:


mailboxes = `/src/c/systools/mutt-mailboxes/mutt-mb /home/lee/Mail`


But that doesn't work. Is there a limit on how long the output can be?
It's 5418 characters.

I can modify the output of the program, like to generate many complete
mailboxes lines, or to generate a long line listing all the
mailboxes. Generating mailboxes lines probably won't work because
"mailboxes" is already specified in the .muttrc.

How do I set the mailboxes from the command output? I don't want to
use a file with mailboxes lines and source that.
