mutt 1.01i eh? download mutt 1.2.5i (from ftp.mutt.org or grab the rpm from
http://mutt.linuxatwork.at - its the best mutt rpm I've seen) and feel the
difference (and upgrade your vim to 5.7 for kicks) ;)

NO!!! Not to sendmail.cf for gods sake. Add it to the file sendmail.mc - it
will be in /etc (till 8.9.3) or /etc/mail (8.10.x and later - 8.11.1 here).
If the lines are already there (but commented out with the string dnl on the
left) uncomment them (in the default rh sendmail, feature(`accept_unresolvable
domains) is already set.
Then install the sendmail-cf-[your-sendmail-version].rpm (the stuff will be
extracted to /usr/lib/sendmail-cf by the way) and run the command
# m4 /etc/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
to regenerate sendmail.cf (hint: backup your old cf file first)

rh 6.2 ships with 8.9.3

received from line ... which means that the guy has a shell on that machine
and is using something like pine or mutt for it. Look at the _return-path_ or
_from_ headers

this? no sorry - it is a command in vi, to read the output of `grep linux
.muttrc' and insert it at the cursor position

that should help in newer mutts - in old mutts like 1.0i, use lists linux

procmail does that for you already

mailboxes `echo $HOME/Mail/*`
this will make it even easier - everything under ~/Mail will be recognized as a
mailbox

that is automatically inserted by the list software (majordomo) overwriting
any previous reply-to header

correct

I dont know emacs (and dont like it)

yes, definitely
rpm --erase emacs
Then
set autoedit # go to the editor right away when composing

take a look at the sample.vimrc file in /usr/share/vim/vim[version] (or it
might be vimrc_example.vim etc). Copy it to your homedir as .vimrc
" Don't use Ex mode, use Q for formatting
map Q gq
esc gq gq (or esc Q) will do the trick to wrap lines

it already exists all over the place - no need to reinvent the wheel ;)

Just subscribing is no damn use - get the sgml doc (download it or get it
using cvs - theres a web frontend to cvs at sourceforge if you want). See if
you can contribute anything - after your experience of setting up mutt +
sendmail + fetchmail + procmail - to the howto.
