Re: send using command-line changes From header

Well, I've attempted to do what you're doing and I can make it work here (I guess). What I'm doing is the following. 1. I used the muttrc file you provided and commented out anything that didn't seem relevant to a command line send operation. (This left only the use_envelope_from line.) 2. I used the command line string you provided and modified it slightly. This is what it ended up looking like: echo message | mutt -e 'set from=Support Guy supp...@example.com' -e 'my_hdr Reply-to: supp...@example.com' -F ~/.mutt/plainrc -s subject mo...@downstairs.invalid The message I received had these headers: From: Support Guy supp...@example.com Subject: subject To: mo...@downstairs.invalid Reply-To: supp...@example.com User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) So, I guess you could try what I'm doing -- although all I'm doing differently is simplifying the muttrc and fancying up the from variable. One thing you could look at is your system muttrc file. Some trouble spots might be: envelope_from_address use_envelope_from from use_from realname The system muttrc file can be disabled by using '-n'. You could try that first to eliminate it entirely. -- Monte
Re: send using command-line changes From header
I'm not sure why, but I finally got the results I wanted by adding -e 'set realname=supp...@example.com' to the mix. Thanks for the assistance.

Re: send using command-line changes From header
I eliminated the spaces, yet still get the same result (the command-line method doesn't get the proper From value). Any other thoughts?

I can use mutt directly to send mail with the desired From and Reply-to headers. But when I use the command line, the From header gets changed on me somewhere. From the command line: echo message | mutt -e 'set from = supp...@example.com' -e 'my_hdr Reply-to: supp...@example.com' -F ~/.mutt/plainrc -s subject w...@example.com My first thought is that you have spaces on either side of the equals sign in your first -e argument. -- Monte
