[mpop-users] [PATCH 8/9] Make passwordeval expand variables

[Ángel González <angel@...54...>]

Variable expansion in password eval can be useful to have a single
script accessing the keyring entry for the account / username+host.

password is still treated as a raw string. Using variables there
would only be useful if the password is a fixed string varying some
account detail (which is a bad practise), but would annoy (requiring
escaping) people with a % character on their password.
