| I have this in my .muttrc:
|
| set realname="Matijs van Zuijlen"
| set [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| set use_from
I use this in conjunction with a my_hdr directive and some send-hooks
to use a different address depending on where the message is going to.
Here's what I have :
set realname="dman" from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
set use_from
# reset the From: header first. This must execute before the below hooks.
send-hook '~t ^.*$' unmy_hdr From
# this works, but is harder to reset each time.
#send-hook '~t [EMAIL PROTECTED]' \
# set realname='Derrick\ Hudson' from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
send-hook '~t [EMAIL PROTECTED]' \
my_hdr 'From: Derrick Hudson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
send-hook '~t [EMAIL PROTECTED]' my_hdr 'From: dman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
