perhaps you change the setup file but
not the running mutt you posted with?
(just guessing here..)

well, that one just had an address -
but no realname at all.  sorry.

wild guess: do you have an alias on that address
with your name and reverse_alias set, too?
then you would see your own realname
in the folder index, of course.

looks just fine now! :-)

but - please do not post with arbitrarily
long lines - 700+ is just too long.

now, it's not so much a problem for me really,
but you get problems with bad editors eg
those in web mailers - which can annoy the
hell out of you if you have to use them.

please use a line length which even allows
for mailer which produce "comb quoting" -
70 usually works just fine.  thanks!
