help, set from=xxx
Hi all, This question has been answered here before I guess, but for some reason I am not able to get it to work. When ever I send email to anybody in the gnu.org domain, I want my "From" address to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have the following set up in my muttrc file mutt complains "set: unknown variable" any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, -neelakanth = send-hook '(~C gnu|~t gnu)' "set signature=~/.sig.gnu \ set [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ my_hdr Reply-To: Neelakanth Nadgir [EMAIL PROTECTED]" == -neelakanth ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _ http://www.gnu.org

Neelakanth Nadgir [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Sun, 02 Apr 2000: send-hook '(~C gnu|~t gnu)' "set signature=~/.sig.gnu \ set [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ my_hdr Reply-To: Neelakanth Nadgir [EMAIL PROTECTED]" The second "set" is superfluous, the proper command would be: set signature=~/.sig.gnu [EMAIL PROTECTED] (yours has a "set" between there). Anyway, setting $from from a send-hook will not work, the change will not come into effect until the next message. To adjust the From: header from a send-hook you need to use "my_hdr From:" instead. Additionally, you need to put a ; between commands (the set and my_hdr, and also between the my_hdr commands if you add a second for setting From). I hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

If they are displayed as different characters with diacritics, then you need a different font. Probably. I'm not an expert on this stuff. Edmund

The character set can be specified in the LANG environment, too (if it is set up correctly on your system . chances are good with glibc-2.x.x) Configure your terminal to use the character set best suitable for you, then in a non-csh use something like LANG=tr.iso-8859-9 export LANG Check the $charset mutt variable to reflect this setting. When still some characters are missing, check your character set for completeness. Gero
