question concerning multiple addresses

Hello everyone, I retrieve email from two different email accounts, and I would like to be able to *send* email from both addresses; after looking at the manual I thought that perhaps "$alternates" was the right variable, but, according to the manual, it only defines which addresses mutt recogniz

Hello Michael, Thank you for your reply; I had read about that send-hooks, but I am still not sure they are the answer to my problem. Part of the problem is solved rightaway by defining a default address with a send-hook, but I don't wish to restrict the use of the second address to messages sen

Hi Rob, I can only help you with the "sent mail" question: mutt will store it in the location defined by $record. So if you edit your ~/.muttrc to read set record=/home/rob/Sent mutt will append a copy of your outgoing messages to a file called "Sent" under your home dir. HTH, Manuel On Sat,

Hello, I have come across a minor problem with mutt-1.2.5: when I bounce a message, my ISP's SMTP server always refuses to accept it. It tries to resolve my home computer's name, and since the address look-up always fails it refuses the connection attempt from my local MTA. Can you tell me why

Hi Ken, If you are using the built-in pop support (I am not sure about what you meant with "with pop"), then don't mind reading the rest of this email :). Otherwise, and although this might seem trivial to you, I had the same problem until I found out that my MTA was putting my incoming mail in

Hello everyone, So, it seems that, as Mikko put it in his previous email, we are pretty much done with this issue, right? I guess that now there isn't any longer a need to inform all the hard-working men and women :) at mutt-dev about this, since Mikko will spread it around. :) I am glad to kno

Hello everyone, This is a really simple one... I know that $alternates is a regex, but I don't really know that much about regular expressions... :-) I thought that set alternates= '((address1|address2|address3)@isp.com)' was correct, but I must be wrong since some times when I am replying

Hi, I would like to pose you two additional questions (I am using mutt 1.2.5i): 1 - How can I tell mutt to, when opening a mailbox, automatically move to the end of it? In the archives I saw a reference to binding a key to the 'last-entry' command, yet I am wondering whether I can't tell mutt
