I think one of the reasons This hasn't been implemented in Mutt is because you can already get the rough equivalent. You can write a script in whatever language you prefer, which generates mutt configuration commands, and then execute the resulting configuration commands like so: source "/path/to/myscript|" This means Mutt *configuration* is extensible in any language, and no additional Mutt code is needed to provide it. It also might be nice to have mutt's *features* extensible in some language, though arguably, they already are: The language for that is C. :) -- Derek D.
