I do this kind of thing in a shell function (I use bash, but the
concept should be similar in zsh). I also check $SSH_CLIENT;
there is a finite, known number of addresses which I consider
"work", and everything else is "nont-work".
mutt ()
{
case $SSH_CLIENT in
206.33.106.*)
MUTTRC="~/.muttrc"
;;
*)
MUTTRC="~/.muttrc.home"
;;
esac
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/mutt ]; then
if [ "x$1" = "x" ]; then
TERM=xterm-color /usr/local/bin/mutt -y -u $MUTTRC;
else
TERM=xterm-color /usr/local/bin/mutt $* -u $MUTTRC;
fi;
else
/usr/bin/env mutt $*;
fi
}
