Mutt and Paths

[George]

If this is mutt-specific I apologise in advance but I'm trying to figure 
out why shell commands executed within mutt fail if the command includes 
the '~' notation.  For example:

!less /etc/passwd   # works
!less ~/.muttrc     # fails - no such file or directory

What's curious is that in the second example, mutt does seem to expand 
'~' on its command-line (tab completion works), but the command itself 
fails.

On the other hand, it does appear that explicit paths, relative paths 
and symlinks work.  Mostly.

!man -M d:/cygwin/home/george/man mymuttpage   # no manual entry for 
mymuttpage

Thanks.

































works only if the file is in the current path.
