| Do you mean something like this:

| "<pipe-message> <shell-cmd> > <tmp-file>; source <tmp-file>"

No, it looks like you're using the shell's "source" command.
I imagine you want mutt doing the sourcing, since you will be writing mutt
commands to the file. Something like:

  <pipe-message> shell-command >tempfile <enter> <enter-command>source
  tempfile<enter>

I would have "shell-command" invoke a script of your own; that way it is
easy to modify and your macro is simple.

Not that I have any objection to extra mutt advertising here, but your
issues are mutt specific, not fedora specific...
