I did some thinking; I think proceeding on this path will keep me going round in hoops. I need to find a way to break the spiral after (2). My partial solution for the moment is to use the following after (2) send2-hook . "unmy_hdr From" reverse_name still breaks very subtly ( fails when I want to send to the poster on a mailing list message). I'll experiment some more. Thanks for the help.

I do not use IMAP directly. I use OfflineIMAP to sync to a maildir in my home directory. I also use one SMTP (gmail) with different from addresses to reply to my emails from different accounts. Gmail lets you do this once you have authenticated that these alternate from addresses are indeed yours. > Depending on the folder I'm in the correct from address is set with "set > from=…" > As each IMAP account use different SMTP-Servers these are set via some > send-hooks that depend on the from: address.

Of course only if it is not too much trouble :). Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

[...] 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 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 $alternates (v<=1.5.5) or alternates-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.orgPhoto Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535@ http://linuxcounter.net
