This works like a charm, thank you! -Alex

Sorry, yes, I use that approach as well for lists - just in a different section of my config e.g., send-hook '~C ^mutt-users@mutt\.org$' 'my_hdr From: Will Yardley <...>' w

Most mailing lists do not do that, so there's no way to "reverse" from the to/cc to the from of the reply. You want Jon's send-hook based approach, setting from etc based on the target address of the message you're composing. Cheers, Cameron Simpson

Choose 'From:' address based on 'To: address
Hi I am subscribed to several mailinglists and use different email addresses for them, for various reasons. Is there a configuration option to choose which 'From:' email address shall be used if a mail to a certain 'To:' address is composed? If a 'To:' address isn't in the mapping, then the 'set from' configuration setting should be the fallback. I somehow remember to have read years ago, that somebody has built a workaround for this issue by hacking something into VIM with some code completion feature that gives at least a way to choose an address from a list, but I cannot find the reference to that anymore. Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated. -Alex
