[PLUG] mutt FROM address

[MaD dUCK <madduck@madduck.net>]

peoples, please help me out (yet again)...

i am using mutt with the following settings:

  set domain
  set hostname = madduck.net
  set realname = "MaD dUCK"

  and no my_hdr's set.

so whenever i compose email in mutt, it is from $USER@madduck.net,
which is fine.

i need to install another mutt in another domain, let's call it
mail.pantsfullofunix.net. so i would like the from address to say
madduck@mail.pantsfullofunix.net and not @pantsfullofunix.net.

however, i

  set hostname = mail.pantsfullunix.net

and my mail is still from madduck@pantsfullofunix.net.

when i

  set hostname = mail.mail.pantsfullofunix.net

then i get the right result. which is obviously silly since
mail.mail.... doesn't exist.

huh? i couldn't find any setting to prevent this. and nothing in the
man pages or mutt.org html help files.

do you guys have a clue? i know this must be easy, so please be
patient and enlighten me...

thanks
