I just put an '^' and a 'U' as can be seen printed in my lines above. I do not know how to put a 'Control-U charachter' in .muttrc being edited with 'vim'. (Tried with '<C-U>, which appears to be 'vim' syntax, to no avail). Anyway ... > If you try to edit the from line, mutt fills it with the content already > there.
