Mutt will do this all the time. That's why its version number is less than 1.

As others have said you can fix it in ~/.muttrc or /etc/Muttrc. Actually, I think this is a bug in either Mutt, exim, or their interaction, because it works just fine with smail. I think hostname and domain name handling on Unix is pretty messy all up.

Re: Mutt, Exim, and the From: header--CORRECTION
In looking at the From: line on my copy of my post sent by the list I see that my mailer has done yet another thing. To clarify, the usual corruption of my address is from '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to 'cld@@'. Sorry for this second post. Curt -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Mutt, Exim, and the From: header
Mutt has decided to alter the From: line in my outgoing mail. I rewrite this header under Exim, changing the domain portion to that of my isp. But as you can see from the header in the present message, the rewrite portion has been replaced with '@'. When I check Exim's handling of things with 'exim -brw' the rewrite is correct. This happened once before, when I'd first installed Mutt. Then I fixed it the MicroSoft way, i.e. by reinstalling, but I'd rather understand this and really fix it. I'd appreciate any insight or tips about just where to look. Thanks. Curt -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
