here are the headers from a message i sent from mutt to my other account:

if you see the lowest "received" header, it says (from mugwort@localhost),
& later (envelope-from [EMAIL PROTECTED]). if i send a similar message from
outlook, there's no trace of the local account. This is where the problem
lies-- the remote MTA is picking "mugwort@localhost" rather than
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". can y'all think of any way to hide the local address?
an outgoing mail filter/procmail recipe or somesuch? is that possible with
mutt?
i'm sorry if this is off-topic for mutt; but i suspect the solution will
lie in mutt's config, e.g. with some mail-out filter, if such is possible.
thanks in advance...
