By setting $reverse_envelopeto the reverse_name functionality is extended to also search the Envelope-To: and X-Envelope-To: headers when looking for a suitable From: address.
Hi Tobias,Thanks for sending the patch. Right now we're in the middle of the freeze for 1.12.0, so no commits of this sort are happening. However, I do have some feedback.
sample.muttrc is me's personal muttrc, and shouldn't be included in a patch that adds a new option.
It looks like you left out the part of the patch that is setting env->envelope_to. Also, a new envelope field would need to be saved and restored in hcache.c. This might invite further discussion of patterns such as ~t, ~C, etc.
If something like this were to go in, I think it should be bundled with the $reverse_name functionality, not as a new option.
All that said, my impression is that this is too specific. The header you are referencing is non-standard, and varies based on the MTA. Others gave suggestions in the threads you mentioned for various workarounds. I'm -1 on this, but I'll give it some more thought.
