By '<shell-escape>' Michael means the mutt function which runs a shell command. It is bound to the '!' key by default. If you type '!' and mutt will prompt with 'Shell command: ' and then you'd put in 'env | less' (no quotes) or 'printenv PATH | less' or any number of other ways to inspect the environment for the PATH variable as mutt sees it. If you start mutt via ssh or as a direct command in some terminal's profile, this may well differ from what you get if you directly start a shell. That can easily be the reason that PATH contains ~/bin in your shell sessions but not mutt's. -- Todd
