macros

[Thomas Isenbarger <isen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to bind the macro for shift-g to download my mail by  
fetchmail.  I can type !fetchmail from within mutt and my mail is  
downloaded.

here is what i added to .muttrc

macro generic G "!fetchmail -s\n" 'Run fetchmail'

I also tried

macro generic G "<shell-escape>'fetchmail'<enter> 'Run fetchmail'

In both cases when I try to invoke the macro from within mutt, i get  
the error:

POP host is not defined.

Do I need to override in some way mutt thinking that it is supposed  
to fetch the mail instead of fetchmail?

thanks,
isen
