I'm trying to set up my first instance of mutt, and am having some problems with the realname setting. I'm using mutt 1.4.1i on a RHEL4 system. Here's part of my ~/.muttrc file (domain name obscured): [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat .muttrc set mbox_type=Maildir <snip> mailboxes =ghana <snip> # Set the From: header to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the 'ghana' mailbox folder-hook ghana set from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" folder-hook ghana set realname = 'Ghana Malaria Project' #folder-hook ghana set use_from=yes #folder-hook ghana set envelope_from=yes
# Set the From: header back in the general mailbox area. <snip> When I use this configuration file, I'm able to select the 'ghana' folder. When I do, the message 'Malaria: unknown variable' appears briefly at the bottom of the screen. When I compose a reply, the From: header appears as: From: Ghana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There doesn't seem to be any strange characters in the realname line: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ grep Malaria .muttrc | cat -vet folder-hook ghana set realname = 'Ghana Malaria Project'$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ grep Malaria .muttrc | hexdump -C 00000000 66 6f 6c 64 65 72 2d 68 6f 6f 6b 20 67 68 61 6e |folder-hook ghan| 00000010 61 20 73 65 74 20 72 65 61 6c 6e 61 6d 65 20 3d |a set realname =| 00000020 20 27 47 68 61 6e 61 20 4d 61 6c 61 72 69 61 20 | 'Ghana Malaria | 00000030 50 72 6f 6a 65 63 74 27 0a |Project'.| 00000039 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ I've also tried: folder-hook Ghana set from = 'Ghana Malaria Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' but this didn't seem to work, either. I'm stumped. Can anyone suggest why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks for your advice and suggestions. -Kevin Kevin Zembower Internet Services Group manager Center for Communication Programs Bloomberg School of Public Health Johns Hopkins University 111 Market Place, Suite 310 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 410-659-6139
