Can anybody clue me in? That's not a mutt problem. If you want email from `tao.thought.org' to masquerade as email from `thought.org', you should configure your MTA to do this (Sendmail, Postfix or other). See the section: +---------------------------+ | MASQUERADING AND RELAYING | +---------------------------+ in `/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README', for more details :)
