Hi everyone and sorry to come back with this issue, it's starting to drive me crazy (I had to manually write the correct From: field after hitting L ...).
I think my problem is related to my profiles, I have 5 of them. I put all the configuration files in ~/.mutt/profiles/ and source them from ~/.muttrc. First question, should those file contain any my_hdr From: ? Right now I have unmy_hdr * my_hdr From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I tried to remove them and replace with set realname=steve set [EMAIL PROTECTED] set use_from=yes but after doing that, a simple r will put twice the same address in To: and in From:, which is rather cumbersome... I've been fiddling around with the configuration variables for a while now, and reading the manual.txt also, but each time I get a different result (which is normal you'll tell me) and still not what I want. I'd like now to follow a better troubleshooting method, i.e following step by step what's happening but I have not found any way to do this. Any ideas ? Thanks for any help and have a nice weekend.
