Thanks, with this method it works fine.
(with send-hook it does not work ... )
Then, perhaps you have failed to execute it properly?
I put the following lines in my .muttrc:
# my_hdr From: g.rob...@free.fr
---------------------------8<--------------------------
send-hook . my_hdr From:g.rob...@free.fr
send-hook @name_of_my_box my_hdr From: us...@name_of_my_box
---------------------------8<--------------------------
If I send a mail to us...@name_of_my_box it work as expected
If I send a mail to f...@hotmail.com it work as expected
but my command in my crontab is:
echo "perform full charge of the battery" | /usr/bin/mutt -s "battery"
us...@name_of_my_box
When I run this command, the From of the mail is us...@free.fr instead of
us...@name_of_my_box
I can't figure out what I am missing ? ...
>There is *much* very good explanatin in the fine manual :^).
I do not agree with you regarding send-hook ...
What do you find lacking?
I do not quite understand the purpose of "send-hook . 'unmy_hdr'"
However, if I do not write the line "send-hook . my_hdr From:g.rob...@free.fr"
this does not work well when I send a mail to f...@hotmail.com.
Finally I think I am wrong, nothing is lacking if we take the time to
follow all the links ($from, $realname in chap 4) but after following all
the links I'm still not solve the problem of the command in crontab ?
Though it would be nice if there was a little more examples ...
