Thank you for your reply. I changed the envelope-from address but the header does not change. Maybe I should edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, change samuel to sam, reboot and then I won't have this headache. > | then there is a header "Mail-Followup-To: Sam Varghese <[EMAIL > PROTECTED]>,debian-user@lists.debian.org". i can't understand why my address > appears > | in this line and would like to ensure that it is not there as i am > | subscribed to the debian-user list. > > http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#ss6.3 > > Look for "followup-to" and "subscribe" and "lists".

I neglected to ask one thing: what do I do in order to ensure that when I hit reply on any of the list messages, I reply to the list and not to the person who posted? Right now I have to change the to address manually every time. Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com
