No, and I think it was on the Debian/Linux 1.1 system. Is this significant enough to cause the From: field to be changed. > > Anyways you can set any From line by putting such a line in your > ~/.muttrc: > > my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Your Real Name) > > that's what I have in my ~/.muttrc except I use different punctuation, which is why I asked the question in the first place, because with Debian 1.1 (kernel 2.0.0) and mutt 0.85 that worked just fine. Now with Debian 1.3 (kernel 2.0.30) and mutt 0.88 the From: line gets garbled. Here is the punctuation I use which conforms to the format of address fields as I see them reported on my system. my_hdr From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "My Real Name" which is pretty much what you suggest above. I have tried this with both unmy_hdr From: and unset use_from. Thanks for the suggestion and any more.
