There is sometimes a problem with substitutions like "Execute delete = echo $message id".

It seems the problem is that if you delete a logbook entry that is not created with the current logbook attributes, the substitution variables are replaced with the variable name, and not the variable value.

In this example, according to the log file it becomes SHELL "message id" instead of SHELL "234", if the logbook entry is 234.

I tried to reproduce it, but it always worked for me. So I need a step-by-step instruction from you on how to reproduce the problem, ideally starting from the demo logbook from the distribution. Only if I can reproduce the problem, I will be able to fix it.
