alternates is a list of the email addressess *you* use to represent yourself and would be seen as "From: <you>". Mutt will consult that list to determine if the msg is "From: <you>", ie: From: <some-addr-in-alternates> = "message is from you" -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
