Allow `userCommand` by analogy with `passwordCommand` in email accounts #5231

Open Smaug123 opened 7 months ago

Smaug123 commented 7 months ago

Description

I believe every usage of accounts.email.accounts.userName occurs in a context where a small local modification would allow a command to be passed instead (so as to avoid storing this particular secret in plain text, as we correctly avoid with passwordCommand). I've attached a patch which goes some of the way there before I hit a part of the Neomutt configuration (accountRoot) which didn't seem easy to convert; it's certainly possible though.
