Subject: Environment variables in .pinerc 3.91

We've recently moved from pine 3.89 to pine 3.91. Some 50 people are using 
their old .pinerc files, in which there is a line like

printer=a2ps -p -F10 -ns -f -Hmail | lpr -P"$PRINTER" -l -Jmail    

This was working fine with 3.89 running under AIX 3.2.5 on RS/6000 machines.
With 3.91, however, the double quotes surrounding environment variables are
interpreted differently, as is shown by the response on the prYnt
command:

Print message 1 using command "a2ps -p -F10 -ns -f -H"mail" | lpr -P" -l -Jmail -?

Is this a bug or a feature?
