All the variables in the config file are set in this order:
1. Internal defaults
2. Environment variables
3. Config file items
4. Command line options
If you have one of the environment variables set, I think it is used
although it may not be shown uncommented in the -v output (since it
wasn't used in the actual config file).
Should I make it appear uncommented in such a case?

The environment variables aren't "compiled into" hypermail, they're read
when hypermail is invoked.
