send-hook and different email accounts
ciao! i'm using mutt with two different email accounts. generally i use the first one but i need to use the second to send email to the university so i set the following send-hook: unhook send-hook unhook send2-hook send-hook . unmy_hdr From Reply-To send-hook . 'set sendmail=~/bin/msmtpQ -a gmail; \ set from = Marco Giusti [EMAIL PROTECTED]; \ my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' send-hook .*unibo\.it 'set sendmail=~/bin/msmtpQ -a hermes; \ set from = Marco Giusti [EMAIL PROTECTED] my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' with this configuration i got a strange behavior i follow these steps: 1. send emails to a generic addresses. no problem at all 2. send an email to .unibo.it. no problem, all the headers are set correclty 3. send an email to a generic address. now the headers and the variables are set to the previous values ie. unibo.it account why i got this? it's my fault or a mutt's bug? how can i achieve the behaviour needed? thanks for your help marco ps. follow some mutt infos if you need it, anyway is a debian/lenny package Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Copyright (C) 1996-2008 Michael R.

'my_hdr From: My Name [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Setting $from should work as of 1.5.18 http://dev.mutt.org/hg/mutt/rev/4e8e3db418ea But I didn't know about unmy_hdr, so my_hdr may not be necessary, and there may be a better way to do it with set from (better because for all I remember with my_hdr From, set reverse_name doesn't work). Right, my_hdr From overrides $reverse_name, which usually isn't desired. That's why it's nice to set $from instead. IMHO there is still a tiny problem because it's impossible to determine in a hook (send-hook or send2-hook) what the final From value is, based on the combination of $reverse_name and $from. That's a bit frustrating to me because I'd like to make some other settings based on that value. Aron

If someone e-mails to your private account, your reply will have set From to your private account. If someone e-mails to your university account, your reply will have set From to the uni account. send-hooks and folder-hooks can catch a lot, but sometimes they don't. For example, I have my university address as the default from: address. But I'm also active in a cycling organisation, and if someone with whom I've never exchanged email before sends a message to me at that address, no hook will match, but I'd still like the reply to originate from the cycling address, not the uni address. Currently, I have to set this manually (using a macro). m.
