Hi Antonio,

> 1.14.4-2? 

I’ve just tested using mutt package 1.14.5-1 using the small muttrc
from the mail that opened this bug report, the main bug reported is
still there. Namely "<function-name>" in a macro sequence is
interpreted as a call to the function if the function is available in
the current context and but otherwise as a sequence of the keys '<',
'f', etc. So this bug is still present.

I cannot reproduce the other, tiny, bug, about some part of the
sequence not being interpreted after a <shell-escape>, though.

Best regards,
Samuel
