Perhaps I am not seeing the forest for the trees....
Having "reverse_name=yes", responding to mail addressed to "l...@gmail.com"
should have "l...@gmail.com" as the sender which obviates the reply-hook:
reply-hook '~h "Delivered-To: +list@gmail\.com"' my_hdr From: "l...@gmail.com"
Try the following:
set reverse_name
add as the very first send-hook: send-hook . ""
comment out or remove subject reply-hooks
Make sure that all of the required "reverse_name"s are defined in
"alternates"
alternates [-group name] regexp [ regexp [ ... ]]
unalternates [ * | regexp [ regexp [ ... ]] ]
alternates is used to inform mutt about alternate addresses where
you receive mail; you can use regular expressions to specify
alternate addresses. This affects mutt's idea about messages from
you, and messages addressed to you. unalternates removes a regular
expression from the list of known alternates. The -group flag
causes all of the subse- quent regular expressions to be added to
the named group.
I can, I think, understand the function of reply-hook and send2-hook but
have never actually found a need for either.
I use "set reverse_name" rather than "reverse_name=yes" but cannot tell
you whether one is preferred over the other.
Be sure to preserve your ~/.muttrc so you can return to it if alterations
introduce errors. I suggest copying to a <new-name> and using it as:
mutt -F <new-name>
I may be completely off-base, but this is to the best of *my*
understanding. gud luk,
