Sven, thank you very much for your response and your time. What I'm trying to accomplish is more or less the same Jerome (the original poster) wants. We use mutt with nntp-patch and want to set headers according to the fact if we are mailing or posting. Jerome came up with the solution above which indeed works for From-headers, but not really (read: consistantly) for Bcc-headers, at least for me. What I want is to test if there is a To-header or not - if there is one, I'm mailing, if there is none, I'm posting. If I'm mailing, add a Bcc header (I'm Bccing all mail to myself to keep track of it). If not, do not add this header because this results in an ugly "To: undiclosed recipients ;" line in my postings. I've tried an otherwise empty .muttrc file and send-hook . "unmy_hdr *" send-hook '~t ..*' 'my_hdr Bcc: mail' send-hook !'~t ..*' 'my_hdr Bcc: news' Testing the settings: 1. (mail) no bcc 2. (mail) bcc: mail 3. (news) bcc: mail 4. (news) bcc: news So it seems to work, but the send-hook is "one message late". -Andre
