Normally when I send using mail, I can simply use the -r option to

is probably clumsy and there must be a better way of doing it but it
works.
Now I want to use mutt to send attachments but it doesn't have the -r
option. Putting in "my_hdr From:" in .muttrc doesn't do it either.
Can someone suggest a way to make this work? It's probably trivial
but I can't find the solution via google.
There is a package named exim4-config . Run "dpkg-reconfigure
exim4-config , i.e. reconfigure the config package for exim4, which is
separate from the actual exim4 package. Answer the questions and you
get return address overwriting in exim4 plus other stuff that you
would have never known you needed. To handle a password authorization,
read /usr/share/doc/exim4/README.Debian.html section 2.3 and
man exim_passwd_client for the details of the format of the file
passwd.client
HTH,

No, I had all that. The address rewrite is a pain but not the real
issue. I don't want it using my account name. I want it to use an
address I set. Staticsafe's advice on .muttrc rules did that trick. I
just need to set up different .muttrc files for the various reply-tos I
want to use. I suspect I can also program it into mutt but I don't want
to devote that much energy to something that I have a really simple way
of handling.
Thanks though.
