Hi, more often than i like, i forget setting the Reply-To: header in my mails. For that reason, i just patched my mutt-1.5.16 to ask me, just like it is asking me for Cc: and Bcc:.
This is a very simple patch, but i thought i might share it, anyway. In case you like it, say so, and i shall write patches to doc/manual* to go with it. Feel free to include it into official mutt, if you want. Tested on OpenBSD-current/i386. The following patch is also available from http://www.studis.de/Software/mutt-1.5.16-noport-u0.patch In case you want to test it on OpenBSD, better use http://www.studis.de/Software/mutt-1.5.16p0u0.patch Thanks for maintaining mutt, :-) Ingo --- mutt.h.orig Wed Apr 11 05:14:01 2007 +++ mutt.h Tue Sep 25 02:04:23 2007 @@ -332,6 +332,7 @@ enum OPTASCIICHARS, OPTASKBCC, OPTASKCC, + OPTASKREPLY, OPTATTACHSPLIT, OPTAUTOEDIT, OPTAUTOTAG, --- init.h.orig Sun Jun 10 04:29:21 2007 +++ init.h Tue Sep 25 02:02:39 2007 @@ -169,6 +169,12 @@ struct option_t MuttVars[] = { ** If set, Mutt will prompt you for carbon-copy (Cc) recipients before ** editing the body of an outgoing message. */ + { "askreply", DT_BOOL, R_NONE, OPTASKREPLY, 0 }, + /* + ** .pp + ** If set, Mutt will prompt you for a reply-to address before editing + ** the body of an outgoing message. + */ { "assumed_charset", DT_STR, R_NONE, UL &AssumedCharset, UL 0}, /* ** .pp --- edit.c.orig Sun Apr 1 23:58:55 2007 +++ edit.c Tue Sep 25 02:13:26 2007 @@ -311,6 +311,27 @@ static void be_edit_header (ENVELOPE *e, int force) mutt_addrlist_to_idna (e->bcc, NULL); addch ('\n'); } + + if (option (OPTASKREPLY) || force) + { + addstr ("Reply-To: "); + tmp[0] = 0; + mutt_addrlist_to_local (e->reply_to); + rfc822_write_address (tmp, sizeof (tmp), e->reply_to, 0); + if (mutt_enter_string (tmp, sizeof (tmp), LINES-1, 10, 0) == 0) + { + rfc822_free_address (&e->reply_to); + e->reply_to = mutt_parse_adrlist (e->reply_to, tmp); + e->reply_to = mutt_expand_aliases (e->reply_to); + mutt_addrlist_to_idna (e->reply_to, NULL); + tmp[0] = 0; + rfc822_write_address (tmp, sizeof (tmp), e->reply_to, 1); + mvaddstr (LINES - 1, 10, tmp); + } + else + mutt_addrlist_to_idna (e->reply_to, NULL); + addch ('\n'); + } } int mutt_builtin_editor (const char *path, HEADER *msg, HEADER *cur) --- send.c.orig Tue Apr 10 06:34:53 2007 +++ send.c Tue Sep 25 02:15:34 2007 @@ -225,6 +225,8 @@ static int edit_envelope (ENVELOPE *en) return (-1); if (option (OPTASKBCC) && edit_address (&en->bcc, "Bcc: ") == -1) return (-1); + if (option (OPTASKREPLY) && edit_address (&en->reply_to, "Reply-To: ") == -1) + return (-1); if (en->subject) {
