First off ... you didn't mention a crucial piece of information: the
version of nmh you're running.
My apologies! It's version 1.3-1 (pretty ancient, I guess, but
that's what's tied to my version of Ubuntu -- something else I
need to update).
This has generally worked, although (because I use sendmail) this adds
the line
Sender: <laptop-userID>@<ISP>
This makes me think you're running something older than the latest
version of nmh. Starting with 1.5, nmh will no longer create Sender:
header automatically; in fact, if you really want one, you have to add
it yourself. Also, there's a much cleaner way of configuring your local
identity that works better with more modern configurations (like yours).
Nmh 1.5 was released last June, so it's not exactly brand-spanking new.
I very much look forward to using 1.5, then!
Yes, the version I'm using doesn't allow me to configure the
"Sender:" field, which was the first thing I try. NMH gives me
the following error message:
whom: illegal header line -- Sender:
I wasn't aware that it was NMH that adds in the Sender: field.
I thought it was sendmail. In fact, my "fix" (as I mentioned in
the other followup on this thread, and after a lot of googling)
was to reconfigure sendmail to remap my local (illegal) address
to "dnc2dnc(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com" instead.
Happily, I was able to do this without needing to reconfigure
NMH (although I recognize that the sendmail "solution" is really
a hack, and that the configurability you describe with the 1.5
version of NMH would by far be preferred).
