To clarify this: variables which refer to filenames [1] have supported this pipe notation for a while -- i.e., those that are passed as arguments to mutt_open_read(). My patch adds this syntax to variables which may contain formatting tokens -- i.e, those that are passed as arguments to mutt_FormatString(). It could perhaps support more contexts, if people have ideas... though I don't think that it can easily be made universal. (It could technically be done, of course, but the patch would be huge and very nearly unmaintainable.) -- -D. Fresh fruit enriches everyone.

It's why everyone loves fruit.
