Unable to set Reply-To

[David Woodfall]

Mutt 1.9.1 (2017-09-22)

I have a folder-hook that sources a file. The file sets sendmail and
does this:

my_hdr Reply-To: ***@mydomain.com

But it refuses to work. I know the file /is/ being sourced because
sendmail changes.

Any ideas?

More info:

I tried running mutt from CLI using -e for the my_hdr command. It did
add the Reply-To header, but not with the email address that I gave
it.

I've been googling this for hours now and nothing I try works.

there seems to be a config var "reply_to", maybe that overrides your
my_hdr? Also, using the config var might be easier than my_hdr.

From what I've read about the reply_to var it seems to be for when you
are replying to an email, rarher than setting you own Reply-To:
address.

That variable does something quite different; it's not even a string var
but rather a quad one. See the full documentation.

This is what I have to set the mutt profile:

----
set signature=~/.mutt/signatures/mutt
set envelope_from_address="***@mydomain.com"
# remove all extra headers first.
unmy_hdr *
my_hdr From: me <***@mydomain.com>
my_hdr Reply-To: mutt-***@mutt.org
---

This works. Could you send some more information of your mutt
configuration?

Cheers!
