Bad for me :-(

My setup is little bit more complicated, I have:

macro index,pager \CXvx   ":source $SYSCONFDIR/xterm.rc\n"
macro index,pager \CXvc   ":source $SYSCONFDIR/console.rc\n"

I prefer awk :-)

eval $(neomutt -v|awk '/SYSCONFDIR/{print "export "$1}')

But how can I integrate it in neomuttrc?

So far I use a shell-wrapper for neomutt.
