'karsten' is a valid email address on my host. It's not on the
Internet. I'm a bit stumped as to why exim rewriting isn't working.
Also, as I read the mutt manual, my own address *shouldn't* be added to
the Mail_Followup_To: header:
if the ``$followup_to'' option is set, mutt will generate a
Mail-Followup-To header which contains all the recipients to whom
you send this message, but not your address.
...unless there's a way to specify that 'karsten' is in fact my
address....Reading through the manual some more, there's some cool stuff
in it ;-)
Ok, let's see if the mods have worked yet....
