Hi mutt using Fedora users,

I am trying to set the from name based on the "Delivered-To:" message
header. In my case, the header has values like this:

Delivered-To: mygmailid+keyword@gmail.com

This is what I have tried:

reply-hook "~h 'Delivered-To: mygmailid+keyword@gmail.com'"
"set from = 'emailid@otherdomain.com'"

I have also tried the message-hook with no success. Does anyone have any
idea what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

It's the other way 'round (look at your ' and "):

reply-hook '~h "Delivered-To: +mygmailid+keyword@gmail.com"'my_hdr From: emailid@otherdomain.com'

Your problem is the pattern-matching, which is wrong at several places. You
won't get any errormessage from mutt parsing your .muttrc, because
what you do is valid , but it doesn't do what you expect it to do.

Look at my string, which is tested with the latest mutt-1.5.21 from
the developers hg-repository (since I've rewritten small parts of the
routines in sendlib to fit my needs). You'll see what you did wrong and then
you can look up the items here:

http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html

(I've been using mutt since it has been forked from ELM, and have
still some difficulties doing correct pattern-matching...)

Hope this helps!

This works! However I used `.' instead of `.', I believe the former
should match a literal `.' just like `+'?

Thanks a lot!

Yes, of course. I simply overlooked the second slash here, sorry!
If the expression only should match on a single point, you have to
double-escape the "." here, otherwise it will match on any single
character.

Thanks a lot for the confirmation! I am liking mutt a lot. I think
I'll fiddle some more.

You're welcome! Mutt has served me as a mail client over a long time,
and though I've looked at other clients as well, none could really
convince me. When I need access to my incoming email when I'm
travelling, I use an IMAP-client, though (tried wanderlust some time,
but decided to go with the much more stable Mew - I'm using emacs a lot).

If I may?...exactly what IS "mutt"?....is it something I should concern
myself with?

Mutt is a console/textbased MUA, see http://www.mutt.org .
It is highly customizeable/configurable, but for the most common cases
you want to run a local mailserver and POP3-client (e.g. fetchmail)
to be able to use it fully.

Hmmm....I guess it's because I've never used something like it, but I
imagine it's pretty hard to move around in if it's all text based?....no
icons to click on for deleting messages? no drag-and-drop
features?.....I think only a DIE hard techie would opt for such a thing!
I cannot see the reason for or a situation where something like that
would come in handy!....curious!
