Customize To: field

[steve]

Hi,

Sometimes people send their message with the following headers:

From: email-address email-address

which isn't very nice in the index menu.

I would like to re-write this line as following :

From: a chosen name email-address

I tried a reply-hook in the config file for that particular recipient:

reply-hook . 'set To: a chosen name email-address'

but when I hit 'r' to reply, I see 'unknown variable' in the bottom bar
and the To: field hasn't change.


Any help would be appreciated.

Steve

Mutt doesn't currently have any way to delete or alter the recipient
list.  What you want is *almost* what 'set reverse_alias' does, except
that reverse_alias only controls what is displayed in the index.

What does mutt-dev think about making $reverse_alias apply to replies?

Seems fine. Does anyone object?

 It looks easy.
 I don't set $reverse_alias though.

I think this makes sense.  The user is already requesting that it be displaying 
this way in the index, so it should
not be a problem to display it this way when replying.

Will this patch apply to 1.5.18 and will it be included in 1.5.19?
Also, when is 1.5.19 due? :)

Thanks!
