Mutt version: Mutt 1.9.1
Exim version: 4.89 #1 built 01-Dec-2017 12:50:23
I was running exim and mutt on an old Solaris system. I finally moved over
to my new Linux box, which is now at Fedora 27. I copied over the config
files.
But, I had discovered that the "From: " line was incomplete. It was:
brown@mrvideo
Also, when I sent test mail to myself, the Mutt "To" line was changed to
the above value.
I just could not figure out what was going on. Looking at the hosts file,
I only had mrvideo in there, so I added mrvideo.vidiot.com before the
simple name. That didn't make a difference.
A friend sent me his exim.conf file and I did a comparison and noticed
that my qualify_domain was unset and his was. I set it, even though the
exim configuration has nothing to do with mutt. But, I still sent
myself a test mail to see if the From: line was fixed. I then noticed
that the mutt To line was also fixed. The resulting From: header was
also fixed.
So, I am curious as to why modifying the exim.conf file caused mutt to
now have the correct info?
Thanks for any info as to why that worked.
