I know all are giddy about the release of nmh 1.2 (will be compiling
it this weekend), but I am curious as to how to resolve the following
situation:
On my office workstation, I use a different logon id than my email
address (as given to me by the corporation I work for). I have solved
that by adding
From: address@hidden
Reply-To: address@hidden
to every one of the various *comp* files in ~/Mail/
I've also added
masquerade: draft_from
to /etc/nmh/mts.conf
The problem seems to occur with Bcc in that I get the following:
From: "<address@hidden>" <address@hidden>
To: undisclosed-recipients:;

The problem is that if someone replies having received the message
on the Bcc, it gets sent to a non-deliverable email address.
Yup. I've tripped over that myself recently. I don't know
the motivation for the current behavior, and can't think of a
good reason for it. My guess is that not many people use
draft_from so it hasn't been noticed.
Is this a MTA issue (not MUA)?
Am I missing something to configure? Is this standard for the
appropriate RFCs? Can nmh honor the From:/Reply-To: on a Bcc??
It's an nmh issue, and I don't see a way to configure around
it. Dcc: doesn't behave this way, but I want to use Bcc:.
nmh would honor From: on a Bcc with the patch below to
post.c and spost.c.
It wouldn't be as simple to propagate Reply-To: through,
but I don't think it's as important. Especially because
you're setting From: and Reply-To: to the same value.
Could this patch be considered for the upcoming release,
please?
I committed it.

Thanks!
