Re: Summary: Conflict between c flag and filter

in fact, I believe it can hurt -- or help -- by causing double
interpretation (something like sh's eval).

Indeed so.  It's something I feel could be very useful...but I've not
yet had a use for it.

The rcfile fragment:

  THIS=that
  MYVAR='$THIS'
  :0:
  * ? echo $MYVAR >output1
  * $ ? echo $MYVAR >output2
  rubbish

results in:

  $ cat mail/output1
  $THIS

  $ cat mail/output2
  that

When I need a recursive INCLUDERC to select what program should be used
for testing a particular mail, then this will no doubt be just the job.
