    That's perfect for you, on the latest Mutt. But setting $from in
a send-hook wasn't possible before version 1.5.17. The following is
portable across all Mutt versions and still allowing the $reverse_name
feature (unless you're sending to a list):

| set realname="John D'oh"
| set from=private_address@xxxxxxxxxxx
| send-hook .   "unmy_hdr From:"
| send-hook ~l  "my_hdr From: list_address@xxxxxxxxxxx"

    Don't change, Dominik. I'm speaking for others.


Bye!    Alain.
