Re: [gentoo-user] mutt question

It is a feature. Mutt gives you the option of saving local copy of
mail when you send. If all the mail in your sent mail folder displays
as From: David H. Askew, you'll never be able to tell which is which
(=

I've never actually tried to set that behaviour differently, try
looking at the mutt manual
  http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/
AFAIK, everything that is configurable is included in there.

If you use Ssmtp as your MTA, change  /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf  like mine :

  # Set this to never rewrite the From: line (unless not given)
  # and to use that address in the from line of the envelope.
  # PP 050302 : uncommented to get 'Philip Webb' in from line : ok
  FromLineOverride=YES

That solved the problem for me.

i'm actually using nbsmtp, but I don't think its actually a header
problem, but rather a mutt display problem 

... thanks for the suggestion anyway
