Is the message "from" you in the mutt sense? (check your alternates pattern). If so, and reply_self is unset (which it is by default) mutt will assume you want to reply to the recipients, not the sender (or the reply-to header in this case), because the sender is you. This short-circuits any reply-to checking and just sends to the original recipients. I know you said that it's using the From address, which isn't precisely what would happen in the case I described above, but it's the only thing I could think of. I thought maybe you were conducting a test in which the from and to addresses are both "you" (in the alternates sense), so maybe misinterpreting the "to" address as the "from" address when mutt does its no_reply_self thing. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.digitalconsumer.org/
