Well, I've attempted to do what you're doing and I can make it work here (I guess). What I'm doing is the following. 1. I used the muttrc file you provided and commented out anything that didn't seem relevant to a command line send operation. (This left only the use_envelope_from line.) 2. I used the command line string you provided and modified it slightly. This is what it ended up looking like: echo "message" | mutt -e 'set from="Support Guy <supp...@example.com>"' -e 'my_hdr Reply-to: supp...@example.com' -F ~/.mutt/plainrc -s "subject" mo...@downstairs.invalid The message I received had these headers: From: Support Guy <supp...@example.com> Subject: subject To: mo...@downstairs.invalid Reply-To: supp...@example.com User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) So, I guess you could try what I'm doing -- although all I'm doing differently is simplifying the muttrc and fancying up the from variable. One thing you could look at is your system muttrc file. Some trouble spots might be: envelope_from_address use_envelope_from from use_from realname The system muttrc file can be disabled by using '-n'. You could try that first to eliminate it entirely. -- Monte
