Carsten --
I don't have an answer for why mutt crashes, but it's easy to send
mail as though from another account.
There is a variable/command called "my_hdr" which allows you to
specify any header you wish -- including "From: ". Many folks use
send-hooks or folder-hooks to set different values; take a look at
these examples from my .muttrc:
.muttrc: send-hook . unmy_hdr From:
.muttrc: send-hook . my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (David
Thorburn-Gundlach)
.muttrc: folder-hook =F.madison source $HOME/.muttrc.madi
.muttrc: folder-hook =F.choice source $HOME/.muttrc.choice
.muttrc.madi: send-hook . my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Madison
Thorburn-Gundlach)
.muttrc.choice: send-hook . my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Choice
Consulting)
As you can see, I typically reset my From: header with every mail
message I send (pattern matches ".", or anything), and then set it to
my bigfoot address. When I'm in my Madison folder (=F.madison),
however, I reset my From: value to that of Madi (at only two years
old, she doesn't type too well yet :-) When I'm in my consulting
folder, I reset the address similarly.
I chose to go with a folder-hook that sourced a separate rc file
because there are other settings in there as well; you might have
something like
send-hook some-special-addr my_hdr From: news@gateway
or
folder-hook =NewsFolder my_hdr From: news@gateway
HTH
:-D
