I agree with Ryan, reverse_name is probably what you want, you'll need to teach mutt which addresses are "you" and there are several ways. Here's what I use: === alternates ^...@mysite.com$ set reverse_name=yes === reverse_name has mutt check to addresses for your email addresses if one matches it uses *that* as the From automatically when you reply. alternates is a regular expression, which is used to say what email addresses are "you", could use a specific list like: === set alternates=(msim...@saic1.com)|(msim...@fizban.sgum.mci.com) === Here's why I use that... I create junk email aliases for each business I give my email to. Then use /etc/aliases to map those addresses to the account I check often. Using the mutt reverse_name option, I reply to email and it automatically uses the garbage address for them. If someone has a security breach (like TD Ameritrade did or one of my credit unions) and some spammers start sending me junk using their random email I know exactly who leaked the address and can shut off the spam in a minute (generate a new address/update aliases) then waste ten minutes on hold to (notify the business of their breach/ direct them to email my new address). _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
