Hi Folks, I've got an annoying little problem in mutt with the From: line of my email. At least, I think it's in mutt. This is on a slink system with the slink version of mutt.
Mutt lets you set the From: line of the email, either through `my_hdr From:', or by pressing ESC f when the message has been composed. But for some reason, but for some reason it's ignoring both of these and putting in my actual email address. Why would I want to put in a fake address? Well, basically I use qmail, and it allows you put a -whatever after the name part of the email address to redirect mail. For example, I'm subscribed to this list as dm-debian-user@ and I can have mail to that address sent to a particular mailbox, or whatever. It's very handy for mailing lists and what have you. I subscribed to a mailing list as dm-something@ and when I tried to change a subscription detail, it kept telling me damon@ was not subscribed to the list. I also use qmail (self built) on my own machine. All mail is sent to a maildir, and when I connect to my ISP, ip-up runs maildirsmpt and transfers all my mail to my ISPs SMTP server (works really well for a dial-up machine). So all my outbound mail gets sent to a local maildir before it is delivered. When I check the From: line, it's always damon@, not dm-something@, even if it has said dm-something@ in mutt. I can't find anything in my muttrc that would account for this. I also somehow doubt that qmail is rewriting a MUA-generated line (but I could be wrong). Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm sure this was working fine once, and it's just recently that it's changed - but maybe I'm just going mad.
