% hi,

Hello!


% 
% I have lost my .muttrc config file.

Ouch.  Better backups next time!


% 
% there is a couple of variables which I am having trouble resetting in my new
% file.
% 
% 
% to view my mail box I have to type "mutt -f ~/Maildir" 
% 
% what variables do I have to set to make this happen in my .muttrc file ??

I presume you probably want

  set folder=$HOME/Mail
  set spoolfile=$HOME/Maildir

so that you need only type "mutt" to start reading your maildir and so
that the '=' shortcut will point to your Mail dir.


% 
% also my mail server is,  "mail.mydomain.co.uk" so mail I send comes from
% [EMAIL PROTECTED] how do I set it to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You probably want either

  set from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

or

  my_hdr From: "Me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

or possibly

  set hostname=mydomain.co.uk

but only you can decide.


% 
% 
% Pretty simple I know but I have not got a reference point.

Well, you have, actually...  There's the well-commented system Muttrc
file, the manual, and the web site, not to mention countless example
muttrc files out there.  Of course, you're using LookOut! (well, a
variant) to send this, so you actually deserve *no* mercy ;-)


% 
% Thanks, 
% 
% Matt.
