Hmm.. 

How do I ..

1. access the contents of an environment variable in mutt
2. code a set statement that accesses a *nix env variable

??

I did the following in a bash shell:

$ export $COLUMNS
$ mutt 

:set wrapmargin="$COLUMNS-80"

and mutt tells me:

221-80: invalid value.

This is likely not relevant but even though $COLUMNS is an environment
variable in my context.. I still had to add the export statement before
mutt was able to access its contents.
