When I try to mail from my home machine to my earthlink account I get the message in the attached file called mail.fleb bounced back to me. I'm guessing it's because of the rechpj at localhost part. Earthlink mail can't resolve that to a real domain. That's why I added the my_hdr part in my muttrc based on some google research. Which probably looks anemic, but it was one of the few muttrc files I could find that was not 5 pages long. I can email my account at yahoo, no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pine works fine to earthlink, but I like mutt much better. More like elm, which I used for years at the U of M.
