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.
Huh. I experience the same behavior, and a little searching confirms that backticks only evaluate the first line. What an odd restriction.
I found the general solution at http://wiki.mutt.org/?ConfigTricks in the "Generating a dynamic muttrc file" section.
Use the same muttGmail script, but include it in .muttrc with
source 'muttGmail foo|'
Note that the quote chars are single quotes, not backticks, and the
command has to end with a pipe char.
