There are probably quite a lot of hacks you could use to get kmself to work with local mail. maybe you could get exim to rewrite in the other direction, from kmself@ix.netcom.com to karsten. Your MFT header will still not get rewritten, but on the other hand it won't be set (unless you're subscribed to some mailing lists running from your own machine). I'm surprised you're sending so much mail to your own machine with mutt, though... -- Don't make Godzilla mad!
