This example worked, but I might find the reason why it didn't work
in general.  I saved the following script as mutt-test and put a line
`mutt-test bar` in my .muttrc 

#!/bin/sh

email="$1"

cat <<EOF
set my_test1=${email}
set my_test2=${email}
set my_test3=cat
EOF

set ?my_test1 does give the expected answer but not for my_test2 and
my_test3 (unknown variable).  My conjecture is the that back-tick
trick only work for the first line for output and it will ignore the
rest of lines.
