% I am using Mutt 1.0.1i (2000-01-18) and I have my index_format set list
% this...
%
% set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15F (%4l) %s"
%
% the %F option does not seem to work correctly because email address
% >From from me shows up as being from "Ben Johnson". All other
% installations of mutt I have ever used set this column to
% "To <recipient>" when the message is from me.
That's the classic $alternates problem. I, personally, haven't seen
anything else that causes it.
%
% I am using the same config file I use on all other working systems so I
% think it must me a problem with this specific version of mutt. Is that
% right? Is there an easy way to fix it?
I used 1.0* before moving to 1.2 (no time spent inthe 1.1 tree) and I
never saw this.
I know that you use the same config file(s) everywhere, but ... :-)
On that machine, in that mutt, type
:set ?alternates
to see how your $alternates are set. Look for the email address in
question to make sure it's in there. Perhaps even set $alternates to be
just that address and see if %F changes for you.

% Thanks very much in advance for any help!
