Ask for which account to send email from?
Hi, I have been using mutt for all my emailing for a couple of years now. I have multiple accounts, and the way I get this resolved is that I have different folders where different accounts are used (all configured in my .muttrc). This works at least sort of reasonably, except when I have to forward or send an email (using an account) to something else that is on a different account. I am not sure how to handle this, and would like to have ideas, but at the very least, I wonder if I can get a prompt asking which account I should send my email from. Ideally, if I choose an account (email address), then that account should get picked. Any suggestions, as to how I should handle this? Many thanks for your time, and help! Best wishes. Ranjan

As a first step I recommend using a folder-hook to source a config file that changes your smtp-settings like so: folder-hook '+PMazart' 'source ~/.mutt/incl-ident-pmazartwebde' Within this config file may be: set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmpt -a yourconfig" set realname=Ranjan and so on. If you need to change your account manually you could do something like: macro compose,index,pager "\ca1" ':source ~/.mutt/incl-ident-pmazartWHATEVER' 'use pmaz...@whateverdoesnotexist.cn' macro compose,index,pager "\ca2" ':source ~/.mutt/incl-ident-pmazartwebde' 'use pmaz...@web.de' With this you can use CTRL+A then 1 or 2 to change your smtp-configs. You can additionally consider changing compose_format, status_format and pager_format to mention the currently used email address within those include files. Best Regards, Peter
