On posts going back to 2003 I red it was possible to switch identity while composing a message. What I understood from those posts was that you had to put the following lines in .muttrc: ------------ macro compose z "<edit-from>^UIdentity_<tab>" "Select from" alias Identity_1 <1st_addr...@tin.it> alias Identity_2 <2nd_addr...@tin.it> ..... .......... .................... alias Identity_n <nth_addre...@tin.it> ------------ then, pressing 'z' while editing a new mail, you would be able to change your 'From:' header choosing from the list of identities. However, I did try it with no success ;-(
Yes, this works like a charm. What _exactly_ happens in your case? A guess: you put ^ and U in there instead of a Control-U character? If you try to edit the from line, mutt fills it with the content already there. Control-U or <kill-line> editor function clears that line. Thus, the above is equivalent to: macro compose z "<edit-from><kill-line>Identity_<tab>" "Select from" If that still doesn't work for you, please provide an error message or whatever mutt gives you.
