I just installed Debian woody with Mutt 1.3.28i, and I've discovered a
puzzling behavior that wasn't in the Mutt that came with Mandrake 8.0
nor any other Mutt I've ever used. I made a simple muttrc with just
> set from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
> set realname="Daniel J. Peng"
Now I expected that when I started writing an email in Mutt, Mutt
would construct a default From header consisting of my email and
realname, but instead the From header is completely blank.
If I type ":set from" or ":set realname", my email and realname do
appear properly.
Has anybody else seen this behavior? Is this a new "feature" of Mutt
1.3.28i? Or is this some pecularity of Debian's package?
