How to change the "From: " of an outgoing email to any account on the machine



Hi all,

Environment: Redhat Linux ; Postfix ; Mutt

I have three user accounts on my Linux box: joe, hansen, joe12

I use the following command to send emails and it works great.
mutt -s "my subject" email-id@xxxxxxxxxxx < message.txt

When I am logged in as "joe", I would like to have the capability to send email as "hansen@xxxxxxxxxx" or "joe12@xxxxxxxxxx" (rather than the default "joe@xxxxxxxxxx") from the shell prompt. How would I be able to do that?

I read the FAQ, (especially the one on the headers) but I was unable to undestand it.
http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttFaq/Header

And one more doubt, where would my muttrc file be located? I ran the "locate muttrc" command and all I got was...
/usr/share/doc/mutt-1.4.1/sample.muttrc-tlr
/usr/share/doc/mutt-1.4.1/sample.muttrc
/usr/share/doc/mutt-1.4.1/sample.muttrc.https
/usr/share/man/man5/muttrc.5.gz
/usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/muttrc.vim

Thanks for your help. I await your response.

Thanks,
Joe.
