I'm pretty new to the list and to mutt. I just recently switched over
from (ick!) elm - something I'd been meaning to do for two years (eek!).
I looked for an answer to this question in the manual and in the FAQ
and couldn't seem to find it.
I have two email addresses that begin with "bradapp" - one is my home
ISP address (in my signature below), and the other is my work address
(which has the same username but an entirely different domain name).
I have procmail and my .forward file setup to forward my ISP mail to
my work-mail address.
As a result, mutt seems to think any and every piece of mail forwarded
from my ISP was sent by me, when it reality it wasn't 90% of the time:
it was sent by someone else, and forwarded from an alternate address.
I don't want mutt to think its from me unless I'm in the From: header
(as opposed to the From_ header). I tried unsetting my $alternates
variable but that didn't change anything.
I imagine there might be a way for me to do some header munging, but I'd
like to do it without munging headers because I already have many years
of message archives with several thousand messages in all, and I don't
want to have to munge the headers of all the messages in my archives.
I'm back to using (ick!) elm until I can get this fixed because it affects
the majority of my incoming mail. So is there a way I can configure
mutt so that it doesn't use the From_ or Received: headers to see if a
message is from me, and uses just the From: header instead?
Thanks!
