Setting From header based on To header
Hi, I have a mail account with aliased mail addresses, i.e., mails sent to me.someth...@example.com, me.somethinge...@example.com, etc. are delivered to m...@example.com. The To header indicates which alias an email was sent to, e.g, me.someth...@example.com. I was looking for a way to set the From header based on the To header when replying in mutt. This way I could set From to me.someth...@example.com when To was me.someth...@example.com. But I couldn't find a way to achieve this when reading on the various configuration settings regarding the From header. How could one approach this? Currently I edit the From header manually when composing the reply message. Jens
Add replied message status flag from sent messages
Dear list, >From time to time I have to answer emails on my phone. But to integrate these mails I configured the mail user agent on the phone to also copy messages as BCC when I'm replying from the phone. I read about this approach somewhere but I cannot find the reference anymore. On my computer I filter these mails locally to put them in the folder for sent messages. This way I can see all my sent messages in mutt. Unfortunately mutt doesn't add the replied message status flag when the reply mail is added to the sent messages. I thought it would be able to do this by somehow matching up the Message-ID header and In-Reply-To header. But maybe it's not mutt jobs but some other tool's. Do you know of a way to achieve this? Because this way mutt would indicate to me that I replied to a mail even though I did it on the phone which is fine for me. I use the Maildir format. I'm also interested in other approaches to use mutt as the primary mail user agent but integrating mobile devices somehow. I prefer a setup where my mail is kept locally on my computer. Jens

A solution is to use a lightweight SMTP agent. I tried msmtp and it works. Jens
smtp_url with IPv6 address
Hi, I need to send my mail via IPv6. That's why I want to specify an IPv6 address in smtp_url. But unfortunately I cannot make it work. I tried set smtp_url="smtps://[2001:dB8:::1]" with and without the square brackets. But mutt cannot parse this. How does one specify this? Sadly, I cannot use dns names since the local network has no IPv6 nameserver and the SMTP server is IPv6 only. Further I don't have root access. Jens
