By setting the send-hook, "my_hdr From:..."? as the default, you told mutt to use that for everything that is not matched otherwise My default send-hook is: send-hook . unmy_hdr From: now "set from" us used unless I have another send-hook definied that matches a particular condition. > Or: can mutt somehow detect my mail address where I get the mail to on > mailing lists and set it as from address when using (list) reply as it > works without mailing lists where my address is directly in To or Cc? > This is why I wrote the first send-hook, it's exactly one mailing list > where I use another address but mutt didn't recognize this. set reverse_name set from = "p...@lespocky.de" set use_from alternates " .... " send-hook . unmy_hdr From: send-hook <condition> "my_hdr From: <your_choice>" Now when you reply, mutt will use the name in the To: field to determine which From: addr to assign, unless <condition> is met and then use <your_choice> > Bonus question while we're at it: I wrote my mutt config some years > ago, why would I have wanted to use 'my_hdr From: > n...@example.com' instead of 'set from=n...@example.com'? Indeed, why would you have? send-hook . set from = "<addr_of_your_choosing>" send-hook <condition> "set from = <another_addr>" // not tested or researched // is there more than one way to "skin a cat"? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
