-> Mutt version is 1.0.1.
Also, it helps if you set generic hooks to set the variable back to their
defaults for the next message. Otherwise when you send a reply to an email
sent to alternate address, the changes become permanent until you send a
reply to an email to another alternate address.
# globals, apply to all emails.
send-hook . unmy_hdr Reply-To:
send-hook . 'my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
send-hook . 'set attribution="On %d, %n wrote:"'
send-hook . set signature=~/.signatures/.signature
Is anyone maintaining a Mutt HOW-TO?
