I see a problem where mutt picks up the domain name for it's from
address as the search domain in /etc/resolv.conf. This is in SuSe 9.0
and mutt-1.4.1i-140. SuSe tells me it is a mutt issue and not a SuSe
specific issue. AFAIK, the search domain can differ from the domain the
computer's hostname is in. See the note I sent to SuSe below.
Thanks for the great mail program! I use it entirely now as a
superior replacement for elm.

Dear Mr. Philbrook,
Thank you for your mail to the SUSE Linux feedback team.

If this behaviour annoys you, configure mutt do behave differently. This is
the way mutt works and we can not and will not change it.
