My .muttrc has this line in it
my_hdr From: hymie! <hy...@nasalinux.net>
so that all of my outgoing email has the correct email address.
However .. when I use the "bounce" feature, mutt is not using my From:
header. It's generating a From: address using the actual name of the
individual host, hy...@alfred.nasalinux.net , and I don't want it to
do that.
My understanding is that this EXACTLY NOT the behaviour of 'b'. I used
to use 'b' a lot in client support, when someone would email me with a
query that should really be dealt with by someone else. So it should
work like Forward, but it explicitly NOT mess with the headers, and
preserve the original sender, so that the recipient is completely
unaware that it has been "rerouted" through my mailbox. The most
important thing is that when they reply the reply CORRECTLY goes back to
the person who send it. With Forward, the reply would come back to me,
which would be completely pointless.
Why yours is creating a different address is a mystery to me.
