You don't need to write a script for that.  Mutt will display the "real
name" automatically for addresses in your alias list.  Define aliases in
your .muttrc as follows:

alias Foo Foo Bar 

and now incoming mails from foo...@bars.name will have "Foo Bar" in the
origin field.

If you insist on using an address list in some other format such as
Thunderbird's, consider automatically converting the other format into
mutt's.

Author's name in index from address book

2015-11-19 Thread Wim de With
I configured Thunderbird to override the name in the From: header with the
name associated with that email address in my address book. I would like to do
the same in Mutt. Is there any way to replace the author's name in Mutt's
index view with a shell script instead of using the options of the
index_format configuration option?

Maybe a script calling mhonarc (though I haven't used for some time).

I must be missing something.  Mutt saves temporary files to $TMPDIR or
to /tmp if $TMPDIR is unset (TMPDIR is kinda standard
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_03).
Did you set your $TMPDIR to /tmp/mutt?  Anyway, I cannot reproduce
this behavior - I sent two identically named .pdf files, opened them
in turn and both of them were saved to $TMPDIR before opening and
handled by mutt in accordance with ~/.mailcap.  What mutt version do
you use?  I tested it on both 1.5.21 and 1.5.24.
