The way I handled this same problem here was not to try and have mutt do the
change, but to have exim do the envelope rewrite. The line in the
/etc/exim.conf that does this is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrF
The username on the box here is mike, and I have exim thinking that the
domainname for my computer is earthlink.net ... which is the domainname of
my ISP. I wasn't feeling too terribly original when I was doing the setup.
That line is at the very end of my exim.conf - I'm not sure if it's
important where in the file that line is, but that's where the original file
had something similar.
