Dear Antonio, Thank you for your shown fast interest about the email sending issue.
So to re-produce it: here is a regular configuration that works for the conventional mutt installation on several type of distros (lower to the one that has been made for debian squeeze testing); since there is a large linux community using several mutt version. *apt-get install sendmail mutt msmtp * which are into ubuntu and debian testing in the repos. I note that all works fine with 1.5.18 mutt version (stable previous distro of debian, which shall be stable, or very very stable, because companies rely on Debian, highly) cat .muttrc set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" unset use_from #set query_command="abook --mutt-query '%s'" #macro pager A |'abook --add-email'\n set query_command = "abook --mutt-query '%s'" macro generic,index,pager \ca "<shell-escape>abook<return>" "launch abook" macro index,pager A "<pipe-message>abook --add-email<return>" "add the sender address to abook" unset reply_self # if unset, a reply to yourself implies reply to other my_hdr Reply-To: [email protected] cat .msmtprc account default host smtp.gmail.com port 587 from [email protected] tls on tls_starttls on tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt auth on user [email protected] password XXXXXXXXXXXX logfile ~/.msmtp.log what else do you need as files? hmm no idea what more. Please feel free to inquiry all elements of configurations, anytime. So the version of files: dcb94661827dd090fa813e73e122ea0c mutt-1.4.2.3.tar.gz md5sum: mutt-1.5.18: Is a directory a90b8c8d34a54eac345ff8a50f7333e2 mutt_1.5.18-1_i386.deb Working 98e0d99539579e624e5a1a7526c7bc90 mutt_1.5.18-6.diff.gz 24a337bedc3e84cfb71dd06528c0dc92 mutt_1.5.18-6_i386.deb * Not so well compiled :( *terms of dependencies Come on: libkrb53 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2) it is not required, necessarily ! 27c30037120189b9f9c0d3e76361b8f8 mutt_1.5.18.orig.tar.gz All best wishes / regards and wishing to have an excellent Stable coming Debian distro, as the previous releases !
