That is from a Debian patch: https://salsa.debian.org/mutt-team/mutt/-/blob/6fa73261/debian/patches/debian-specific/Muttrc.patch > The manual, /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz, doesn't mention using > mailname at all; the important part of hostname determination is given > as: > > Its value is determined at startup as follows: the node's hostname is first > determined by the uname(3) function.

It is Debian-specific, from a different patch than the Muttrc update: https://salsa.debian.org/mutt-team/mutt/-/blob/6fa73261/debian/patches/debian-specific/882690-use_fqdn_from_etc_mailname.patch -- Todd
