You are grepping for lowercase view but in the awk script, you act on uppercase VIEW.

Anyway, solving the original problem is probably a more pressing issue at the moment; maybe then you can address stylistic issues in the scripts, and revert to a working version if a change turns out to break stuff. Sorry if I managed to lead you astray. (Having said that, the parentheses around the grep are redundant ...)

An example of the sh -x output as compared to what happens in reality would still be a good help.

MU-VIEW(1)                                                    General Commands Manual                                                   MU-VIEW(1)

NAME

       mu_view - display an e-mail message file

SYNOPSIS

       mu view [options] <file> [<files>]

DESCRIPTION

       view  is the mu sub-command for displaying an e-mail message file. It works on message files and does not require the message to be indexed
       in the database.

       The command shows some common headers (From:, To:, Cc:, Bcc:, Subject: and Date:), the list of attachments and the plain-text body  of  the
       message (if any).

OPTIONS

       --summary
              instead of displaying the full message, output a summary based upon the first lines of the message.

       --summary-len=<number>
              Number of lines to use for the summary. Default: 5.

              --terminate  terminate  messaages  with  a  f  (form-feed) characters when displaying them. This is useful when you want to further
              process them.
