Okay now this is very strange... set from="Name <n...@domain.com>" alternates "customerserv...@domain.com" set reverse_name=yes send-hook '~f customerserv...@domain.com' 'my_hdr Cc: ot...@domain.com'
1. start mutt 2. hit "r" to reply to an email that has been sent to "customerserv...@domain.com" 3. edit message, save, exit editor 4. "reverse_name" worked "From: customerserv...@domain.com" is set but "Cc:" is empty 5. hit "q" and do not send message 6. hit "r" on the very same message as before 7. edit message, save, exit editor 8. "reverse_name" worked "From: customerserv...@domain.com" is set and "my_hdr" worked! "Cc: customerserv...@domain.com" 9. hit "r" or "g" on any further messages and all messages get the "my_hdr" change. No really I have tested this 20 times now, hit reply once and it wont work. Hit reply on the same message again and for all further messages mutt starts to use the "send-hook". It's like you have to kick mutt into action first. Strange?! You only have to do this double reply once and all further replies appear to use the "send-hook" correctly. BUT this setup will not work... set from="Name <n...@domain.com>" alternates "customerserv...@domain.com" set reverse_name=yes send-hook '~f customerserv...@domain.com' 'my_hdr Cc: customerserv...@domain.com' If you set the "my_hdr" to set the "Cc:" to the same address as your "From:" it will NOT accept the change no matter how many times you try, "Cc:" will always be empty. I have tested this many times now and can replicate it. Every string but what is exactly the same as your "From:" is allowed. Strange but true. The reason for me wanting to do this is that I work with another colleague and all emails sent to "customerserv...@domain.com" get sent to both of us. What I wanted to happen is that though my primary address is "n...@domain.com"; when emails get sent to "customerserv...@domain.com" and I reply, I want "reverse_name" to correctly change my "From: customerserv...@domain.com" but also set "Cc: customerserv...@domain.com" so that my colleague can see my reply. This is working 90%, though like I showed you have to kick start mutt to use the "send-hook". Is there something that I can set to allow an email to have the same address in "From:" and "Cc:" is this actually something mutt disallows somehow to avoid loops? Hopefully this email makes sense, I have tried to be as clear as possible with the test replication.
