Hello there,

Yesterday I received an email from a friend whose address is in my
.mutt.aliases file, but his name did not appear in the index as I had defined
it, but as his personal name as set by his mailer. I compared the address in
the alias file and in the header, they were the same.  I then deleted the
entry from the alias file and had mutt recreate the alias from the message,
but that changed nothing: his name won't appear as I defined it. AFAIK, this
is the only alias I've had this problem with.

For the record, here is the entry in my .mutt.aliases:
alias varly Varly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

And here are the headers from the message:
