New challenge:
My box is set with my email addr as [EMAIL PROTECTED], because that's what I
want when I just get lazy and pipe things into mail, and when I reply to
news postings using slrn and such. However, for mutt I want the default
email to be [EMAIL PROTECTED], which I've solved by setting
my_hdr From: Terje Elde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
That's not normally a problem, but what happens when I want that for my
default email, but I want [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I reply to emails sent to
that addr? Normally my_hdr overrides any good done by reverse_name :(
It's a bit strange that it gets overridden too. Group replies don't :(
