I believe this is set in ~/.muttrc, and the default is ~/.mail_aliases, which works for me. AFAIK, there is two ways to start composing new mail: one is where mutt prompts for To: and Subject: lines. This is where you use aliases. Just hit <tab> to see them all, or put in first part of a known address and hit <tab>. AFAIK, you cannot do this after you are actually in full blown 'compose' mode. > Furthermore, is there a way to specify an external smtp server in mutt > intead of using /usr/bin/sendmail on the localhost?

I believe this has to be some locally available command that mutt can run, and not a server per se. You could always set sendmails smarthost option, and not run sendmail in daemon mode, which should accomplish the same thing (if I understand the setup). -- Hal Burgiss _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
