http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttFaq/Header How do I set mutt to allow editing of the From: header during composition? The primary way to set your default sender address is through the $from and $realname variables in muttrc: set realname="Joe User" set from="user@host" set use_from=yes : NOTE: Another way is to use my_hdr From: but it is discouraged because it has drawbacks: It breaks the $reverse_name feature, and doesn't work for messages resent using the <bounce-message> function. While my_hdr From: can be a convenient temporary override of the default address, it is not as convenient for setting the default address. I set $reverse_name, but it's not working! The original message (the one to which you are replying) must have been sent to an address which matches <tt>$alternates</tt> (v<=1.5.5) or <tt>alternates</tt>-cmd (v>=1.5.6). Also there must be no my_hdr From: active: It would overrule $reverse_name. See the previous question for a way to do it. -- (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
