Re: What's the 'from'-variable up to?
Apologies for cc'ing Mike Elkins on the last post - didnt notice Thorsten Haude's incorrectly set mail-followup-to header, which included M.E :( -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI You will feel hungry again in another hour.

Thorsten Haude proclaimed on mutt-users that: > Didn't test that. I may need it for my alias mungling. How do you > handle different aliases (eg. for mailing lists)?

There's no difference between set realname="Thorsten Haude" set [EMAIL PROTECTED] and set from="Thorsten Haude <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" and no difference between set envelope_from and folder-hook . 'set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi -f \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]"' While that does probably not surprise you, I'm glad to be sure. >I'm not sure setting $from didn't work for you. Well, I didn't use $envelope_from, because I thought $from would suffice. >Does my_hdr also not work? Didn't test that. I may need it for my alias mungling. How do you handle different aliases (eg. for mailing lists)? The list-reply didn't worl for this message? Is that because you used [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is not in my $lists? >me I would suffer from shizophrenia in minutes. Thorsten

Hi, On 00-11-20, David Alban wrote: >I use: > > my_hdr From: David Alban <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In my understanding (which is obviously flawed) that should only cover the 'set from', not the envelope. Could somebody comment this? On a related issue: I now use set from="Thorsten Haude <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> set reverse_name set envelope_from (Note the missing ") and no sendmail mods. Why is the From: not set to the address I use on the list, "Thorsten Haude" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>? Thorsten

The sendmail -f option sents the envelope return address (what normally goes in the From line of mbox format mailboxes). I'm not sure setting $from didn't work for you. Does my_hdr also not work? me

The $from variable sets the From mail header. If you send the $envelope-from variable, the -f command line parameter you describe will be automatically added to sendmail's invocation. -- Thomas Roessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

If you have several mail accounts you could use some send-hooks to change your from header depending on what account you are using Hope that helps martin -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - gpgkey: http://www.crosswinds.net/~trappedvector/tr.asc keyID: 6E6C3431 Linux - Because Penguins DO fly! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PGP signature
