Arbitrarily setting From: header in Mutt

This is partly a test of my spanking new Mutt installation. So excuse me if some things like mail wrap fails. My question: how do I arbitrarily set the From: header in Mutt. I know about stuff like my_hdr and /etc/email-addresses. What I want to know is if there's a way to do it so I don't have to

Getting winprinter+MIDI+ppp to work under wine

Is it actually possible? On a 99+ % M$-free box I'm talking about the sort of printer drivers that you install using the standard floppies that come with the printer, the one that delightfully instructs you to (1) Insert disk into Drive A: (2) From start, choose settings, blah. It seems that wi

More/less'ing stderr

How can I more/less stderr? A couple of programs I use (e.g. cdrecord) use stderr for --help. So my usual method of scrolling thru the built-in help ("programfoo --help | more") doesn't work.

I managed to download some source trees using cvs (five different programs in fact). None of them would compile successfully. Note that these are sources of programs whose latest ftp/http sources all compiled smoothly (give and take a one-line tweak). Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or is cvs su

bzip2 brings ppp to its knees?

Anybody else had a similar experience? I can compile without my meager 56K connection stalling. But with a running bzip2 process ppp traffic becomes so abysmal I even get disconnected. -- Sir Isaac Newton: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
