Yay! % % But, I still have a puzzling situation.

It's certainly not supposed to do that! % all. This is very puzzling to me, since the envelope address is the same on % both e-mails. I have compared the headers side by side and nothing stands % out as being the cause of the differing behavior. Exactly what does mutt % read when it is executing the reverse_name function? It wouldn't hurt to run diff over them, perhaps removing any Received: lines with timestamps as well. Is there a List-Reply-To: or any sort of followup header? What if you try to reply *without* your alternates and other settings, as in mutt -F /dev/null -f /path/to/problem/message after saving off the message to its own mailbox (for convenience)? % % [I also found the definition of McQ on the alt.fan.warlord pages.

I hit Usenet (news) and the 'net (ftp) incredibly lightly in 1986, but dug in when I went back to school in January '89; I was mostly doing BBS stuff before then and had saved my precious pennies to buy a *gasp* 1200b modem :-) At school I soon found a job in my field (CS) and had the awesome untapped power of a T1 feed (or whatever UGA had back in those days), and I could jump from downloading hundreds of K per night to tens of M per night -- woo hoo! :-) % and I seem to recall that it was 72 characters at that time, because of % teletype limitations.
