This may not help you with your problem, but it may help explain some
stuff that appears to be "bizarre" behavior.

Unless $COLUMNS evaluates to something like a variable name, that
first command will be interpreted as "export". You would have to do
something like:
export COLUMNS
Note the lack of the $ in front of the variable name.

Because mutt doesn't recognize and evaluate mathematical expressions.

It's not an environment variable by default in the bash shell. It's
described in the man page in a section titled "Shell Variables", and
shell variables are not exported to the environment by default.
