How can I change the from header of my email?

Dear all,
I'm trying to change the from email address of my mutt client.
I've tried to change hostname which failed.
And I alse tried change my_hdr which also failed.
How can I change mutt to use the from email I want?

Any hints will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

From the stock .muttrc in debian:

# set from=""
# Name: from
# Type: e-mail address
# Default: ""
# 
# 
# When set, this variable contains a default from address.  It
# can be overridden using my_hdr (including from send-hooks) and
# ``$reverse_name''.
# 
# Defaults to the EMAIL environment variable's content.

So, for you <at> example.com, do:

set from="you <at> example.com"

Cheers,

Wild Cards not working with mutt ?


Hi, 

1. I need to send multiples files as attachment to a single mail.

mutt -a *.csv -s " Testing" smaruvada <at> paypal.com < /dev/null

Error sending message, child exited 100 ().

Segmentation fault

From man page I understand that,

    -a file [...]

            Attach a file to your message using MIME. To attach

            multiple files, separating filenames and recipient

            addresses with "--" is mandatory,

            e.g. mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2

I am able to send the mail with a single file as attachment i.e -a
<file1> <file2> ....

2. Do we have any restriction on the length of the file name to be
sent.? As I have very long file names.

Thanks and Regards,

You are missing one essential note in the man page:

  [...] To attach multiple files, separating filenames and recipient 
addresses with "--" is mandatory [...]

So, if you change your command line to something like this it should 
work:

   mutt -s "testing" -a *.csv -- smaruvada <at> paypal.com < /dev/null

>2. Do we have any restriction on the length of the file name to be

Alex, thanks for the email, I accept that its my property now to
do with as I wish. :-) 

(yeah, I realize you have no choice in that matter, I just found
the wording on this one especially amusing. :-) )

Hmm.  Mutt has *always* left plenty of files behind for me.  Starting with 1.4.something and all the way into
1.5.18.  On OSX Panther, Tiger, and Leopard.  It leaves things in the folder I defined as the tmpdir.  Usually
the files are empty, but sometimes they are saved states of mails I was writing.

These files always have a name that looks something like:

mutt-hostname-501-somenumbers-somemorenumbers

I manually clean them out once in a while.  I thought this was normal.  Is mutt bugging out on the Mac?

Please use example.com, example.net, or example.org for
examples. That's what they're for. See RFC 2606, Section 3.

I have a sneaky suspicion your muttrc isn't being read. Where are you
putting it? Have you ":source"ed the file? Quit mutt and started
again?
