After reading through this thread, I realized I could benefit from
something similar, at least for some of my accounts. So far it has been
mentioned that A) setting the alternates option to match your other
accounts should do the trick, and B) setting reverse_name should also
reuse the To: header in the original e-mail (or so I think that's what
it's supposed to do). Well, neither seem to work for me ;) My
alternates option is set as:
set alternates = "phineas@only-linux\.com|skwerl@telocity\.com|
skwerl@eathlink\.net|skerl-0@home\.com"
which I think -should- match my other addresses exactly, unless it looks
at the real name section of the address as well. I also tried setting
reverse_name, but that didn't seem to have any effect either. Are there
some other options I may have in my configs that would cause this to be
overridden ? I did have a send-hook to force a From: header, but I
commented that out before I started playing with this. Any insight
would be appreciated ;)
