Sorry, I was having problems with Postfix, so this never got to the list. The problems are fixed now (I hope... Guess I'll find out soon enough.) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 23:52:18 -0500 (EST) From: James F. Kubecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help with Multiple Email Addresses Hi there... I'm new to Mutt (and yes, I'm using Pine to send this; I'm won't be using Mutt fully until I get this figured out! :) ), and I'm having trouble with one particular area: using multiple email addresses. Here's what I have so far: In my .muttrc, I have (among other things) the following: set nouse_domain # 'cause I'm on a dialup my_hdr From: James F. Kubecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # Default email set alternates=((james|linux)@kubecki.com|[EMAIL PROTECTED]) set reverse_name=yes So here are my questions: 1. When I receive email at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and reply to it, I get a "From" header of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why? How can I change this? My understanding of the reverse_name is that it will figure out which email the message was TO, and reply appropriately. Am I mistaken? 2. When I compose a new email, it of course uses my default my_hdr to compose it unless I've got a send-hook set up for the recipient. In Pine, however, I have my email set up to prompt me (with a default) for which email should be used for the composition. With Mutt, if I'm emailing someone without a send-hook, it will always be the my_hdr From ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). The only way I can see to email from a different address without a send-hook would be to turn on edit_headers and manually change the address, which seems inefficient to me. How should I handle this in Mutt? Thanks in advance! I hope I can work out these issues because I LOVE the other features of Mutt! -- James F.
