Mutt reply address

[Richard D. Williams]

I use mutt all the time and here is what I do for a reply address.

I place a file in /appl/MUTT for each user.
Here is my sample file located in /appl/MUTT/richard.


set hostname=appgrp.net

my_hdr From:richard at appgrp.net

set realname="Richard D. Williams"

Then when I use mutt inside filepro I can set that mutt file in the 
command line.

i.e.
system "echo -e \"some message\" - mutt -F /appl/MUTT/richard -s 
\"Subject\" -a /tmp/attachment1 -a /tmp/attachment2 email1 at somewhere.com 
email2 at somewhere.com

(The example is for multiple attachments and recipients)

This file can be retrieved in this way:
'set some default file in case a user does not have a mutt file

if:
then: f="/appl/MUTT/defailt"
if :
then: fn="/appl/MUTT/"{@ID;b(1)=EXISTS(fn)
if: b eq "1"
then: f=fn
if:
then: return


You can also set for a receipt request in this mutt file:
my_hdr Return-Receipt-To: richard at appgrp.net

I hope this helps,

Richard D. Williams
