[Mutt] #3098: $SHELL differs from $0 in subshell



#3098: $SHELL differs from $0 in subshell

 I set the subshell in the .muttrc[[BR]]
 `set shell="/usr/bin/zsh"`[[BR]]
 mainly to have the .zsh_env sourced, which adjusts variables like $DISPLAY
 in reatached screen sessions. Unfortunately this doesn't work.

 in mutt[[BR]]
 `<shell-escape>echo $SHELL; echo $0`[[BR]]
 reports that SHELL is set to zsh, but nevertheless a sh is executed. So
 what i would have expected is that $0 was also a zsh.
