Sorry to have to play with words: I perfectly understand now what
you mean, and what you meant from the beginning. But what you write is
false. Input parameters to $signature command| do work.

Perhaps: I retitle mutt/2054 to "wish $signature %expandos" to let
discussion begin. Note there already exist better solutions for your
precise task. Anyway thanks for your suggestion, it may be usefull in
some cases.
Bye! Alain.
