Does mutt have that kind of > extensibility, like slrn? It's fairly straightforward in mutt, by editing the configuration file muttrc or using keyboard commands. Here are 4 ways to do it. 1) Include the line "set edit_headers" in your muttrc. With this set, you can edit the message headers along with the main message body. If you want a custom "From: " line, you can add this in along with the other headers. 2) From the "send mail" menu, press E to edit the message along with headers, and add the "From" line of your choice. 3) From the "send mail" menu, press ESC-f to directly edit the "From" line. 4) Use the "from" variable, or the "my_hdr" command to specify the "From" line of your choice. Use of these variables or commands can be automated using "hooks", so that under specified conditions (eg being in a particular folder), a predefined From address is used -- or (I think this is possible) by binding a command like set from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to a single key. - -- Terry Boon, Hertfordshire, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.5 iD8DBQE6PLg8B+GG7A6DEUARAgjfAJ9p4nuzv8+iasRH0mFYNXBMTUHR2wCfeoLI 2PYHDiD1l4D5afqd9vmFISQ= =GuLF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
