Re: [Mutt] #3298: Mutt's way to get the FQDN is broken



It's probably worth noting that, even if uname() returns a hostname
that contains a '.', that may not be the correct FQDN (for example, it
might give you something lame like spiffyname.localdomain).  The code
I suggested should, in most instances, produce a correct FQDN even
where the OS vendor (or the user) is partially brain-damaged, if such
a thing is possible (i.e. if the IP address of the machine can be
resolved to a real FQDN, using the system's configured host resolution
scheme).
