It was there in 1.2.5i (back when I compiled it on cygwin because the cygwin folks didn't have a package for it). I didn't know about mutt before then. Maybe the mandrake people turned it on by default? I actually just ran into this problem when I upgraded my sid Debian box. Suddenly all my emails were being composed with an invalid 'from:' address, and this was the problem. I think that the Debian folks may have changed the option somehwere along the line in the global Muttrc (/etc/Muttrc). I'm lead to believe this because upgrades of mutt via apt-get dist-upgrade didn't break this until i decided to have apt-get replace my existing config file. snip -- Sean Kelleher

I just installed Debian woody with Mutt 1.3.28i, and I've discovered a puzzling behavior that wasn't in the Mutt that came with Mandrake 8.0 nor any other Mutt I've ever used. I made a simple muttrc with just set from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] set realname=Daniel J. Peng Now I expected that when I started writing an email in Mutt, Mutt would construct a default From header consisting of my email and realname, but instead the From header is completely blank. If I type :set from or :set realname, my email and realname do appear properly. Has anybody else seen this behavior? Is this a new feature of Mutt 1.3.28i?
