Okay. I have cut it down as much as I can and still show the problem. Here it is: ----muttrc-test---- set hostname=mimosa.garydjones.name set alternates="*...@garydjones.name" set envelope_from=yes set followup_to=yes set editor="emacsclient -a='' -t %s" set reverse_name=yes set reverse_realname=yes set sendmail="/usr/sbin/msmtp" set spoolfile="$HOME/Mail/inbox" # mailing lists lists test-l...@garydjones.name subscribe test-l...@garydjones.name ----end---- What I did to test was set up an address on my domain and test that as a "mailing list" (see last section) and then reply to posts to that "list". The problem only occurs when the "alternates" line is included, but I don't know if it's faulty config there (should it be "....@gary..."?), that mutt knows the mailing list is on my domain and therefore decides not to generate a header (i.e. my test case is wrong) or if it is a bug. > >>you will invoke it this way: > >> > >> mutt -n -F muttrc-test -f testmsg > > > >-f should be a mailbox, right, not a message? > > > >Actually that also doesn't seem to work :( It always springs directly to > >my inbox, but maybe there is something in my config file governing that > >(spoolfile= ?). > > If you are using -n and -F your ~/.muttrc should not be loaded. Well, yeah, but it is using the test muttrc, which is what I was referring to :) -- Gary
