mutt shows wrong key generation date in key selection menu
Dear mutt users, since a few days mutt shows wrong PGP key generation dates. Does anyone have the same problem? If setting pgp_entry_format is set to %4n %t%f %4l/0x%k %-4a %2c %u %[%F] mutt shows the key generation date in iso format as the last entry in each listted key. I configured mutt to show the dates and present the keys sorted according to date, in order to easily find the newest key. But since a few days mutt shows wrong dates. See attached screen shot which clearly show key generation dates which predate public key encryption. You may download the shown keys from a key server and check there dates... This is strange since mutt extracts these infos from gpg --with-colons --list-keys command which shows the dates as seconds since the epoch. I checked the output of the gpg command: the dates seem fine (there is a date for every uid but none of the dates is form 1954 or 1963). Therefore I conclude that mutt misinterprets the output of gpg. But I don't have a clue why? Any ideas/help? Ciao, Gregor -- -... --- .-. . -.. ..--.. ...-.-
setting from address on mailing lists (Was: Why does some list software not honor the headers?)

Is it possible to restore this behaviour without dropping the default send-hook and without having to write a send-hook for each and every mailing list? Or: can mutt somehow detect my mail address where I get the mail to on mailing lists and set it as from address when using (list) reply as it works without mailing lists where my address is directly in To or Cc? This is why I wrote the first send-hook, it's exactly one mailing list where I use another address but mutt didn't recognize this. Bonus question while we're at it: I wrote my mutt config some years ago, why would I have wanted to use 'my_hdr From: n...@example.com' instead of 'set from=n...@example.com'?
