To all those who answered with various suggestions for my muttrc file, I have applied all suggestions, with no luck in getting my "From:" header completely under control in my sent e-mails. The Kplug listers did correctly identify the problem as being not in mutt, but postfix, as I was able to get the last half of the e-mail address corrected by changing "mydomain" and "myorigin" in postfix. Now the "From:" header reads:

"Don W. Jenkins<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"

"oakman" is my username on my computer system, and I need that part to be "dwjenkins", but I don't see where postfix reads that. I see plenty of places where mutt would read it, if it were allowed to. Right now postconf -n yields:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
config_directory = /etc/postfix
mailbox_command =
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mydestination = localhost.localdomain, localhost.localdomain, localhost, sc-zg.com
mydomain = sc-zg.com
myhostname = dwjenkins.sc-zg.com
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = sc-zg.com
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost = smtp.west.cox.net
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)


The main.cf in Ubuntu is much more abbreviated than I am used to, or at least a lot of commentary is omitted, and all the variables are lumped together in one place with very little else in the file. It is a very short file, so I don't know if there are some missing possibilities, one of which would solve things.

Thanks for any thoughts,
Don J.
