I use `my_hdr', but `set from' seems to be more straightforward.. I also think
it is better to change the From: field, and not the reply-to: field. (some
people/mailers seem to ignore that). The reply-to method is a work-around. I
had to use that work-around for some time, because my sendmail doesn't let me
(or mutt) change the from field with -f. I finally solved this by installing
ssmtp, and writing `set sendmail = /usr/sbin/ssmtp' in my muttrc. (I left my
old sendmail intact, of course, for fetchmail) ssmtp is very simple to install.
I have about 3 lines in my ssmp.conf file. I must admit that all this took me
some time to figure out. and I wonder if everybody else with an out-of-the-box
linux distro / dialup connection can use mutt without all this hassle...
