If you have one instance of mutt that *does* work, and one instance of mutt that *doesn't*, my first thought would be to compare the output of `mutt -D` on the two machines. > I did some more reading (from the Mutt manuall, and on Google), and > also tried the variable > > set [EMAIL PROTECTED] > and > set [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > but in both cases I get the error: > > "unknown variable" Those only exist in mutt 1.5.11 or more recent. Before that, $use_envelope_from was just known as $envelope_from, and it used your $from address as the envelope address. What version of mutt are you using? > Also I noticed that my sendmail does not support the -f option (is > this why I get the error ?) Really? ... it *should* support that.

Is this really necessary? Your warning here is contradictory: it tells me that if I am not authorized I cannot take any action based on the content of the email, and yet the disclaimer is itself part of the content of the email, so any action I take based on the disclaimer (such as notifying the sender) would be violating the explicit instructions of the disclaimer. Thus, legally, your disclaimer cannot be taken at face-value; it is a logical impossibility. For another thing, it's presuming to place upon me some sort of contractual obligation, even though I haven't agreed to any contract. It is widely recognized in most contract law that you cannot be bound by a contract you did not agree to, so at best your disclaimer is bossing me around with no basis for doing so. If I take your email and give it to *ALL* the wrong people (whoever they are), neither you nor your company can do anything about it. Which reminds me, this mailing list is publicly archived in many places, and as such is available to the general public. This would appear to be a direct violation of your disclaimer, and as such, the disclaimer is silly. That, and it's absurdly long. http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ ~Kyle - -- No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one. -- Elbert Hubbard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iEYEARECAAYFAkgiIuEACgkQBkIOoMqOI15x9gCgv1XI3ivS7HtBs2b+HlgZvhsY KcQAoKVSfzTR0hqCee3gELXcc15TvRcR =FIR6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
