Lo, if I do it using
-i messagebody.txt
instead of with
< messagebody.txt
then it gets FCC'd, and even has my signature appended (which does not happen
with the method that won't FCC either).
Come to think of it, this has spawned another question. When I use '<' instead
of '-i', I am not even prompted for a password, which I assume is because mutt
doesn't need me to interact with msmtp. But when I use '-i', Mutt *does*
prompt me for my password (IMAP), even though msmtp doesn't need it, and even
though I am not checking my inbox. What's up with this?
Many thanks,
GMN
