 | Please can you help me with following:
1. I have mutt (version 1.4.2.1i) installed on RH 7.3
2. I would like to change header (in this case From) based on first
characters from the subject field.
Here is the excerpt of current .muttrc file:
set from="Minnie unmy_hdr From
send-hook '~s Frog" 'my_hdr From: Kermit
Unfortunately, this works Ok when message is composed and sent from
mutt environment (based on my subject From header is changed
accordingly). My problem is when I'm using mutt from the command line
send-hook is not performed from .muttrc file.
Command Example: #mutt mickeymouse@disney.com -s"Frog"
I'm planning to use mutt from the command line to send emails to
different customers and based on the customer change the sender email
address.
Please can you help me with this?
Thanks.

Procmail can be used to process outgoing mail too.
:0
* ^Subject.*Frog
| (formail -I"From: Kermit ") | $SENDMAIL -t
To use procmail this way you'd need to change the $sendmail
variable in your muttrc:
set sendmail="/usr/bin/procmail ~/.procmailrc-outgoing"
If you don't know procmail, see comp.mail.misc.
