answer to sender



Dear mutt-users,

I have just purchased a new email account, let's say me@xxxxxxxxxxxx Now
I'm giving this new address to my friends. When they send me a message
to this new address, I would like that when hitting r, the reply uses
the new address as the From field. But it doesn't. What I get is no From
field at all.

I use several profiles, switching between them with F keys. I also have
send-hooks which work fine. But for those peple using my new address I
don't want send-hooks.

So to resume :

if a@xxxxxxx send a message to me@xxxxxxxxxxx, I want that when hitting
r, the reply message use From: me@xxxxxxxxxxx and To: a@xxxxxxxx

I tried the alternates with the reverse_name but it just didn't work as
expected, my other settings became skrewed up.

I hope this message is clear...

Thanks for your help,
Steve
