Hmmm, it must be common. I found that too after getting a bit more used to Mutt (been using Pine for the last few years, but felt like switching to something else that had better support for PGP and a less restrictive license), and it being so configurable certainly doesn't make a good program any worse. But, enough praise for this great application, on to the question... > However, one thing I do miss is sending e-mail. Since mutt uses > /usr/sbin/sendmail and it is supposed to just work (and probably usually I don't have any `set sendmail' at all in my .muttrc, am running Postfix locally, and it works great. In my run control file, I set `from', `realname' (I realize this may be a bit redudant), and `envelope_from' to yes. No ill side effects as far as I can tell, and sending e-mail is not a problem. Other than that, pretty much all I have is directives to customize Mutt to work and appear the way I like it (admittedly, a lot of them) - and sending e-mail works great. And, oh, yes, Postfix is installed under /usr (as in /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/sbin/postfix) in case that makes a difference. I know this doesn't really answer your question, but hopefully it's enough to help point you in the right direction. I'm still a rookie myself when it comes to Mutt, but have a fair bit of experience with dogs, in case that'd make any difference with this mutt... -- /"\ Michael Kjörling - michael@xxxxxxxxxxxx - SM0YBY QTH JO89XI ^..^ \ / OpenPGP: 3723 9372 c245 d6a8 18a6 36ac 758f 8749 bde9 ada6 \/ X World Wide Web: http://michael.kjorling.com/ - 0740 458 634 / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Against HTML Mail, Proprietary Attachments
