I wish there were an option to have mutt prompt you for which return address to use, being able to pick from a menu of addresses set somewhere in the muttrc. Any possibility? A few months ago, some (sorry, I don't remember who) posted a patch that adds an ask-from quadoption, which does what you're asking for in not too many lines. It's written against 1.3.27, and I've applied it to 1.3.28 (haven't tried 1.4 yet). It's attached. (darren) Many thanks for the patch. I'll give it a try, but have to learn how to apply them first. I've graduated from windoze to linux rpms to now being comfortable with compiling source, but haven't tried the patch route yet. Got to read up on it first. Kevin

I've graduated from windoze to linux rpms to now Patching is really quite simple. If you have the patch program (test by running patch --help and looking for sensible results), then a simple save of the patch to some build dir and a cd $your_build_dir tar xpfz mutt-1.4i.tar.gz cd mutt-1.4 patch -p0 ../name_of_patch ./configure ... make ... where -p0 is probably useful but might not be necessary and then you run the configure and make with whatever arguments you usually provide is all it takes. To see patching in action, surf over to http://mutt.justpickone.org/mutt-build-cocktail/ and take a look at the 00.makeme.sh script; that pulls together my entire patch cocktail in one step.

In this case, the patch can be applied, from within the mutt source directory, like so: $ patch -p1 patch-1.3.27.ds.askfrom.txt For patch, the -p# tells patch how many directory levels to remove from the filenames. If you read through the patch file, you can see that it references files as mutt-1.3.27/init.h and mutt-1.3.27/send.c, which is to say 1 directory and then a filename, so patch has to strip off 1 level of directories to file the name of the file to patch.

No, that's why you use 'patch -p1', so it ignores the 'mutt-1.3.27/' part of the path in the patch. -Ken
