I wrote a simple usertag for this a while ago called [env], and more recently I
committed it to the core, so I am guessing that it should be in 4.8.3
distributions (though I will admit I have not unpacked one yet). You can also
search the maillist archives for 'Usertag [env]' as I originally posted the
code to this list.
