I assume you mean "To:" rather than "From:"; if that's the
case, is there any way to accomplish what I want? The only other
solution I can think of is to map my "reply" button to pipe the current
mail into a script that generates a template based on whatever logic I'd
like to use (although I still haven't figured out how to pass info to
that script about what folder I'm in, etc.), and then reinvokes mutt with
the -H flag specifying that template for the header info. That just
seems too kludgy for words, however.
Thanks,
Sweth.
