Sending via command line and $record

[Dave Woodfall]

Hi

I have been using a script for a while now that uses mutt to send
emails out. I've just noticed today that it no longer saves in
=Sent, and I suspect it's since I started using a dynamic record
setting - i.e. ^ for most mail, but =Sent for mailing lists.

I can't see any option for fcc'ing mail from the CLI. I tried adding
-f =Sent thinking it might save in there if record was set to ^, but
it didn't work. Is there a way to make sure that all mail sent via
CLI saves a copy in =Sent? The only way I can see at the moment
is by using a separate startup file.

Thanks,

Dave

Does adding -e 'set record="=Sent"' to the command line help?

It does indeed do the trick. Thanks very much.
